Exploring Taxonomy: Characteristics of Organisms in Ecosystems

This week’s focus delves into the fundamental characteristics that define various organisms, including their classification into prokaryotic or eukaryotic, unicellular or multicellular, autotrophic or heterotrophic, and modes of reproduction. Students will engage in activities and discussions aimed at comparing and contrasting these classifications and understanding the significance of each characteristic. The importance of the Eukarya, Archaea, and Bacteria domains will also be explored, alongside the distinctions between asexual and sexual reproduction.
