natural selection, process by which organisms with traits best suited for the environment survive and reproduce; process by which evolution occurs, adaptation, any trait that allows organism to survive and reproduce; = biological fitness, common ancestor, shown by fossils, DNA and amino acid sequences and homologous structures; shows evolution; represented in phylogenetic trees, virus, has nucleic acids (DNA or RNA) and protein coat (capside); infects host cells to reproduce; NON-LIVING, bacteria, prokaryotic cell with NO nucleus; has peptidoglycan in cell walls and killed by antibiotics; can be beneficial or pathogens, archaea, prokaryotic cell that lives in EXTREME environments; has cell walls but NO peptidoglycan - examples include halophiles, thermophiles and methangoens, protists, uni or multicellular aquatic eukaryotes; mostly aquatic- examples include amoeba, euglena and paramecium, fungi, unicellular (yeast) or multicellular (mushrooms) heterotrophic eukaryotes, plants, eukaryotic, multicellular autotrophs (do photosynthesis) some have vascular tissue (xylem and phloem); some have seeds in cones (gymnosperms) and some have flowers and seeds (angiosperms), animals, multicellular heterotrophs; invertebrates or vertebrates (with backbone).
