Dense area in cell containing nucleic acids---Chemical instructions that directs cells activities.

Domain EukaryaEukaryotic organism---cannot be classified as animal, plant or fungus---most unicellular---few multicellular—some autotrophs other heterotrophs.

Multicellular eukaryotes. All heterotrophs

Multicellular eukaryotes—most live on land----autotrophs---provide food for heterotrophs

Multicellular eukaryotes—live everywhere---hetertrophs

Homo sapiens
