All known living things are made up of one or more cells

made up of only one cell that carries out all of the functions needed by the organism

a cluster of cells, usually derived from a single parent cell, growing on the surface of or within a solid medium.

an organism composed of many cells

a group of cells that have similar structure and that function together as a unit

a collection of tissues that structurally form a functional unit specialized to perform a particular function

a biological system consisting of a group of organs that work together to perform one or more functions

a subcellular structure that has one or more specific jobs to perform in the cell

any cell or organism that possesses a clearly defined nucleus

any organism that lacks a distinct nucleus and other organelles due to the absence of internal membranes

the gelatinous liquid that fills the inside of a cell. It is composed of water, salts, and various organic molecules. Some intracellular organelles, such the nucleus and mitochondria, are enclosed by membranes that separate them from the cytoplasm

made up of microtubules, actin filaments, and intermediate filaments. These structures give the cell its shape and help organize the cell’s parts

hairlike structure that acts primarily as an organelle of locomotion in the cells of many living organisms

those DNA–protein assemblies which contain the genomes of prokaryotic organisms and eukaryotic organelles

a large structure common to many bacteria. It is a polysaccharide layer that lies outside the cell envelope

A ribosome is an intercellular structure made of both RNA and protein, and it is the site of protein synthesis in the cell.

any self-regulating process by which biological systems tend to maintain stability while adjusting to conditions that are optimal for survival

occurs to increase the change or output: the result of a reaction is amplified to make it occur more quickly

a normal biological response in which the effects of a reaction slow or stop that reaction

how water molecules move across a semipermeable membrane that separates two solutions

any external solution that has a high solute concentration and low water concentration compared to body fluids

a solution containing a lower amount of solute in comparison to the solute concentration in other solutions, across a semipermeable membrane

any external solution that has the same solute concentration and water concentration compared to body fluids

Passive transport is a type of membrane transport that does not require energy to move substances across cell membranes.
