SI is based on 'centimetre-gram-second'
The principal SI units used to derive all other SI units are the base SI units. These are the units for physical quantities such as length, time, mass, electric current, temperature, amount of substance, and luminous intensity.
Seven metric base units make up the foundation of SI. And Specific combinations of SI base units yield derived units. That's why the differ.
There are 7 base SI units and all other are defined using these 7 base units. See the related question below:[http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_are_all_the_SI_unitsWhat are all SI units?]
The SI base unit for temperature is the kelvin.
No, an SI base unit does not contain a prefix. SI base units, such as the meter, kilogram, or second, are defined without any prefixes. However, prefixes can be added to these base units to denote multiples or fractions, such as kilometer (1,000 meters) or milligram (0.001 grams), but these are not considered base units themselves.

The SI base unit for temperature is the kelvin.
Kelvin The SI base unit of temperature is the kelvin.
The base (SI) unit is meter.
The SI has 7 base units. These units can be combined in an almost unlimited way to form other (derived) units. The Wikipedia article on "SI derived units" lists some examples.
