Prokaryotic simple cells with no nucleus and few if any organelles Eukaryotic complex cells that have a nucleus and organelles Autotrophic producers; organisms that are able to produce their own food Heterotrophic consumers; organisms that are not able to make their own food- they get their food from an outside source Ingestive Heterotroph an organism that obtains it nutrients by ingesting organic material prior to digestion Absorptive Heterotroph an organism which secretes enzymes externally into its environment to digest organic materials which are then absorbed Match the vocabulary word with its definition. Symmetry Balanced proportions; the repetition of the parts in an animal or plant in an orderly pattern Bilateral Symmetry Has a top and bottom and a left and right side Spherical Symmetry The parts are arranged around and radiate from the center of the sphere Radial Symmetry Parts are arranged around a central axis; has a top and bottom, but no left or right Spherical Symmetry the parts are arranged around and radiate from the center of the sphere everything is the same in all directions the organism has no ends or sides Found in some protozoan groups Radial Symmetry the organism has a top and bottom but no sides the organism is arranged around a central axis perfect symmetry for organisms to interact with their environment the same in all directions sea anemone and jellyfish are examples Bilateral Symmetry the organism has a front, back, left and right sharkes, birds, insects and flatworms are examples sagittal cut will divide the organism into left and right mirrored halves
