2. Autotrophs and Heterotrophs
Autotrophs are organisms that make their own food.
Heterotrophs have to find their own food.
Protists can both be auto and heterotrophs.

3. Eukaryotic and Prokaryotic
Prokaryotes are organisms with cells that lack a nucleus.
Eukaryotes are organisms with cells that have a nucleus.
Bacteria (no nuclei) Animal cell (with nuclei)

4. Classification and Taxonomy
Classification is grouping animals by their features.
Taxonomy is the study of classification.
Carolus Linneaus is the father of taxonomy.

5. Unicellular and multicellular
A unicellular organism is an organism with one cell, and a multicellular organism is an organism with more than one cell.

6. Sexual and Asexual Reproduction
Sexual reproduction is reproduction by two.
Asexual reproduction is reproduction by one.
Mammals use sexual reproduction.
Plants and protists are examples of asexual reproduction.

7. Binomial Nomenclature and Dichotomous Key
Binomial Nomenclature is a way of naming types of animals-with the first word stating the genus and the second stating the species. Ex. Felis Domesticus
The Dichotomous Key is used to categorize species.

8. Food Chains, Carrying Capacity, and the Limiting Factor
A food chain shows what organisms eat in a series of events.
Carrying capacity is the amount of organisms in an area.
A limiting factor is the factor that prevents a population to increase.

9. Energy Pyramid and Competition
An energy pyramid shows how much energy an organism gets from eating another organism.
The struggle of two organisms between resources is competition.

10. Biotic Potential
Biotic Potential is the maximum amount of offspring an organism can have with unlimited resources.

11. Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration
Photosynthesis is the process in which plants turn hydrogen, carbon dioxide and sunlight into glucose. The equation is 2H2O+2CO2 (yields) C6H12O6+O2+6H20.
Cellular Respiration is the process that converts biochemical energy to eventually waste. The equation is the same only backwards.
