| algal bloom | the rapid growth of algae when nutrients in the water increase |
| unicellular | a single celled organism |
| multicellular | an organism with many cells |
| eukaryote | an organism whose cells contain a nucleus |
| prokaryote | an organism whose cells are lacking a nucleus |
| binary fission | asexual reproduction where the cell divides into two identical cells |
| taxonomy | the study of how living things are classified |
| virus | a tiny, non-living particle that enters into your body and then reproduces |
