| Binomial Nomenclature | The system used for naming organisms in which each organism is given a unique, scientific name. |
| Prokaryote | An organism whose cells lack a nucleus and some other cell stuctures |
| Eukaryote | An organism whose cell contain nuclei |
| Dichotomous key | It is a table to use to identify certain organisms |
| Archaea bacteria | They are members of the kingdom archaea |
| Virus | A tiny, nonliving particle that invades and then reproduces inside a living cell |
| Host | The organism that parasites and viruses lives in or on. |
| Parasite | The organism that benefits by living on or in a host and harms it |
| Flagellum | Is a long whip-like structure that helps a cell to move |
| Binary fission | A form of asexual reproduction in which one cell divides to form two identical cells |
| Conjugation | The process in which a unicellular organism transfers some of its genetic material to another unicellular organism |
| Endospore | A small, rounded, thick walled, resting cell that forms inside a bacterial cell. |
| Decomposer | An organisms that breaks down chemical from wastes and dead organisms, and returns important materials to the soil and water. |
| Protist | A eukaryotic organism that cannot be classified as an animal, plant, or fungus. |
| Protozoan | An animal like protist |

| Cilia | The hairlike projections on the outside of cells that move in a wave-like manner |
| Algae | Plantlike protist |
| Spore | A tiny cell that is able to grow into a new organism |
| Fungi | A eukaryotic organism that has cell walls, uses spores to reproduce, and is a heterotroph that feeds by absorbing its food. |
| Hyphae | The branching threadlike tubes that make up the bodies of multicellular fungi |
| Fruiting body | The reproductive structure of a fungus that contains many hyphae and produces spores. |
| Budding | A form of asexual reproduction of yeast in which a new cell grows out of the body as a parent |
| Lichen | The combination of a fungus and either an alga or an autotrophic bacterium that live together that live together in a mutualistic relationship. |
| Cuticle | The waxy ,waterproof layer that covers the leaves and stems of most plants. |

| nonvascular tissue | |
| rhizoid | A thin root-like structure that anchors a moss and absorbs water and nutrients. |
| phloem | The vascular tissue through which food moves in some plants. |
| xylem | The vascular tissue through which water and nutrients move in some plants. |
| pollen | Tiny particles produced by seed plants that contain the cells that later become sperm cells. |
| seed | The plant structure contains a young plant inside a protective covering |
| embryo | A young organism that develops from a zygote |
| cotyledon | a seed leaf. |
| gemination | The sprouting of the embryo from a seed that occurs where the embryo resumes growth. |
| cambium | A layer of cells in a plant that produces new phloem xylem cells. |
| transpiration | The process by which water is lost through a plant leaves |
| gymnosperm | A plant that produces seeds that are not enclosed by a protective fruit |
| cone | The reproductive system of the gymnosperm |
| pollination | The transfer of pollen from male reproductive structures in plants |
| angiosperm | A flowering plant that produces seeds enclosed in a protective structure. |
| fruit | The ripened ovary and other structures of an angiosperm that enclose one or more seeds. |
| monocot | An angiosperm with one seed leaf |
| dicot | An angiosperm with two seed leaves |
| tropism | the growth response of a plant toward or away from a stimulus |
