There are many different organisms in Sequoia, which makes it simple for terms to apply to these organisms.
 

      Unicelluar: The term unicellular means to only have one cell. All bacteria is unicellular, meaning there is a vast amount of unicellular organisms in Sequoia. Some examples are: E. coli and amoeba.

      Multicellular: If an organism is multicellular, it is made up of more than one cell. Many organisms are multicellular. The three animals mentioned above,  white-foot mouse, black bear, and gray fox, are all multicellular.

      Prokaryotic: A prokaryotic has no membrane bound nucleus. A prokaryotic organism in Sequoia is an amoeba.

      Eukaryotic: A eukaryotic does have a membrane bound nucleus. An example of a eukaryotic organism in Sequoia is the California Quail.

      Autotrophic: To be an autotroph means that an organism generates food and energy by itself, on its own. The giant trees in Sequoia are great examples of autotrophs.

      Heterotrophic: If an organism is heterotrophic, its food and energy is from other organisms. For example, the black bear is a heterotroph.
