makes own food automatically

#10
Front (Question)

Heterotrophic

Back (Answer)

needs to obtain food physically

#11
Front (Question)

Archaea

Back (Answer)

Prokaryotes/ unicellular/ cell walls do not contain peptidoglycan/ lives in extreme environments

#12
Front (Question)

Eubacteria

Back (Answer)

Prokaryotes/ unicellular/ cell walls = peptidoglycan

#13
Front (Question)

Protitista

Back (Answer)

Eukaryotes/ unicellular or multicellular (very diverse)/ cell walls = cellulose

Front (Question)

Fungi

Back (Answer)

Eukaryotes/ multicellular (except yeast)/ heterotroph/ cell walls = chitin

#15
Front (Question)

Plants

Back (Answer)

Eukaryotes/ Multicellular/ Autotroph (through photosynthesis)/ Cell walls = Chitin

#16
Front (Question)

Animals

Back (Answer)

Eukaryotes/ NO cell walls, but cell membranes/ Multicellular/ Heterotroph/ most move
