the branch of biology concerned with the structure and function of plant and animal cells.

the smallest structural and functional unit of an organism, typically microscopic and consisting of cytoplasm and a nucleus enclosed in a membrane. Microscopic organisms typically consist of a single cell, which is either eukaryotic or prokaryotic.

any of a number of organized or specialized structures within a living cell.

Organism is an individual living thing, such as a plant, animal, bacterium, protest, or fungus.

having or consisting of many cells.

a microscopic single-celled organism that has neither a distinct nucleus with a membrane nor other specialized organelles.

a microscopic single-celled organism that has neither a distinct nucleus with a membrane nor other specialized organelles. Prokaryotes include the bacteria and cyanobacteria.

An organism whose cells contain a nucleus surrounded by a membrane and whose DNA is bound together by proteins (histones) into chromosomes.

an organism consisting of a cell or cells in which the genetic material is DNA in the form of chromosomes contained within a distinct nucleus. Eukaryotes include all living organisms other than the eubacteria and archaebacteria.

a basic tenet of modern biology, that cells are the basic units of structure and function in living organisms.

A minute organism that consists of a core of nucleic acid surrounded by protein.

any of the distinct types of material of which animals or plants are made, consisting of specialized cells and their products.

a part of an organism that is typically self-contained and has a specific vital function, such as the heart or liver in humans.

Diffusion/Passive transport

is a movement of ions and other atomic or molecular substances across cell membranes without need of energy input.

a process by which molecules of a solvent tend to pass through a semipermeable membrane from a less concentrated solution into a more concentrated one, thus equalizing the concentrations on each side of the membrane.

the movement of ions or molecules across a cell membrane into a region of higher concentration, assisted by enzymes and requiring energy.

A membrane that is selectively permeable, being permeable to only certain molecules and not to all molecules.

the ingestion of bacteria or other material by phagocytes and amoeboid protozoans.

the ingestion of liquid into a cell by the budding of small vesicles from the cell membrane.

Term	Definition
Cytology	the branch of biology concerned with the structure and function of plant and animal cells.
Cell	the smallest structural and functional unit of an organism, typically microscopic and consisting of cytoplasm and a nucleus enclosed in a membrane. Microscopic organisms typically consist of a single cell, which is either eukaryotic or prokaryotic.
Organelle	any of a number of organized or specialized structures within a living cell.
Organism	Organism is an individual living thing, such as a plant, animal, bacterium, protest, or fungus.
Unicellular	consisting of a single cell.
Multicellular	having or consisting of many cells.
Prokaryotic	a microscopic single-celled organism that has neither a distinct nucleus with a membrane nor other specialized organelles.
Prokaryotes	a microscopic single-celled organism that has neither a distinct nucleus with a membrane nor other specialized organelles. Prokaryotes include the bacteria and cyanobacteria.
Eukaroytic	An organism whose cells contain a nucleus surrounded by a membrane and whose DNA is bound together by proteins (histones) into chromosomes.
Eukaryotes	an organism consisting of a cell or cells in which the genetic material is DNA in the form of chromosomes contained within a distinct nucleus. Eukaryotes include all living organisms other than the eubacteria and archaebacteria.
Cell theory	a basic tenet of modern biology, that cells are the basic units of structure and function in living organisms.
Virus	A minute organism that consists of a core of nucleic acid surrounded by protein.
Tissues	any of the distinct types of material of which animals or plants are made, consisting of specialized cells and their products.
Organs	a part of an organism that is typically self-contained and has a specific vital function, such as the heart or liver in humans.
Diffusion/Passive transport	is a movement of ions and other atomic or molecular substances across cell membranes without need of energy input.
Osmosis	a process by which molecules of a solvent tend to pass through a semipermeable membrane from a less concentrated solution into a more concentrated one, thus equalizing the concentrations on each side of the membrane.
Active transport	the movement of ions or molecules across a cell membrane into a region of higher concentration, assisted by enzymes and requiring energy.
Semi-permeable	A membrane that is selectively permeable, being permeable to only certain molecules and not to all molecules.
Phagocytosis	the ingestion of bacteria or other material by phagocytes and amoeboid protozoans.
Pinocytosis	the ingestion of liquid into a cell by the budding of small vesicles from the cell membrane.
