Binomial nomenclature-by Linnaeus where each organism is assigned a genus and specific epithet (2nd name)

Cyanobacteria-photosynthetic, prokaryotic, typically unicellular organisms that are members of kingdom Monera

Divergent evolution-process where descendents of a common ancestor species undergo sufficient change to be identified as separate species

DNA hybridization-process where double strands of DNA of ea. Of 2 organisms are split apart and split strands from 2 organisms are allowed to combine

Domain-new taxonomic category above kingdom level, consisting of Archae, Bacteria, and Eukarya

Eukaryote-organism with eukaryotic cells (w/nucleus and other membrane bound structures

Extreme halophile-grow in highly saline (salty) environments. Generally obligate aerobes

Extreme thermoacidophile-require hot and acidic environment usually from Domain Archae

Five-kingdom system-system of classifying organisms into one of 5 kingdoms: Monera (prokaryotae), Protista, Fungi, Plantae, and Animalia

Fungi-kingdom of nonphotosynthetic, eukaryotic organisms tha

Taxon-category used in classification, such as species, genus, order, family

Permanent parasite-parasite that remains in or on a host once it has invaded the hostPlasmodial slime mold-funguslike protist consisting of a multinucleate amoeboid mass, or plasmodium, that moves about slowly and phagocytizes dead matterPlasmodium-multinucleate mass of cytoplasm that forms one of the stages in the life cycle of a plasmodial slime moldProtist-unicellular eukaryotic organism that is a member of the kingdom Protista
