3. Fungi
  1. Cells have chitin walls reproduce using spores
4. Prokaryotes

5. Protoctists
  1. Exist as single cells or colonies of single cells.
Biotic
1. Living things
2. Organic matter
Abiotic
1. Non-Living things

Sub-kingdoms and how to classify and species for a lion it would be

    1. Class -mammal
      1. Order -carnivorus
        Family -cat
        Genus -big cat
        Species -lion
Extremophiles
1. are organism that live in very extreme environment
2. Examples are high temp, high concentration of salt water and high pressure
Ecosystems
1. Ecosystem are physical environments with a particular set of conditions (abiotic factors), plus all the organisms that live in them (biotic factors
Adaptation, organisms are adapted to survive over many generations involves small changes between organisms which allow it to survive better. These changes can be internal or external
