Study Guide

Domain

The broadest classification of life splits all organisms into three groups called domains. The three domains of life are bacteria, archaea and eukaryota.

Geologic Time Scale

The Earth is approximately 4.6 billion years old and its history is divided into time periods based on the events that took place and the forms of life that were dominant during those periods. The largest graduation of time is the eon and each eon is subdivided into eras, eras into periods, periods into epochs, and epochs into ages.

Liver

The liver produces bile which emulsifies (separates) fat.

Species

The narrowest classification of life, species, contains organisms that are so similar that they can only reproduce with others of the same species.

Stomach

Food is mixed with gastric acid and pepsin in the stomach to help break down protein.
