Unicellular
cant see with the naked eye
Eukaryotic cells
contain a nucleus and organelles bound by plasma membrane
Prokaryotic cells
no membrane
Autotroph
produce their own food.
i.e. photosynthesis
Heterotroph
Does not make its own food.
Arthropod features

insects
autotrophs
three body segments, six legs
aracnids
autotrophs
two body sections, eight legs
