Bald Eagle and Yeast By: Gunnar Lacks and Michael Brown

• Haliaeetus leucocephalus• Multicellular organism• Eukaryote with no cell wall• Obtains food by hunting• Eats fish, rabbits, squirrels,

ducks, snakes, turtles, muskrats, rabbits, frogs, fawns (baby deer), mice, snails, other birds, vulture vomit, and carrion.

• Mostly a predator unless a nestling

• The United States of America’s national emblem.

• Has a wing span of 7ft • Have white heads and tails

with dark brown bodies and wings

• grow almost three feet tall

Bald Eagle

yrs old• Mate for life• Defenses: beak,

talons, eyes, & size.• Adaptations: head, tail,

feet, legs, & body• Habitat: wetlands • Needs an abundance

of fish

Levels of Classification

Baker’s Yeast• Scientific name: Saccharomyces cerevisiae • Common name: Brewer’s yeast/ Baker’s yeast• Habitat: found in the wild growing on the skins of grapes

and other fruits.• Adaptations: Are able break down their food through

both aerobic respiration and anaerobic fermentation, can survive in an oxygen deficient environment, both sexual and asexual reproduction

• Unicellular• Eukaryotes with cell wall• Solitary • Microscopic • decomposer• Used in alcohol, genetic Research, biological research,and chemical research, many different types

Baker’s Yeast• Reproduces at any age• Only produces one offspring per reproduction cycle• It happens every 20 minutes asexually• Found in the wild growing on fruit• Found all over the world • Defenses: enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidants
