Organism | Living things that contain:
- cellular organization
- similar chemicals
- use energy
- respond to surroundings
- grow and develop
- reproduce |
Unicellular | Single celled organism |
Multicellular | Many celled organism |
Autotrophs | Organisms that make their own food |
Prokaryote | Organisms locking a nucleus. |
Nucleus | a dense area in the cell that contains nucleic acids, it sends instructions to the cell |
Conjugation | A process in which one bacterium transfers some of its genetic material into another bacterium through a think threadlike bridge that joins the two cells. |
Infectious Disease | Illnesses that pass from one organism to another. |
Cilia | Hair like projections from cells that move with a wavelike motion. |
Algal Bloom | Rapid growth of population of algae. |
Fungi | Eukaryotes that have cell walls are heterotrophs that feed by absorbing their food, use spores to reproduce. |
Budding | A form of asexual reproduction without spores where the child cell grows on the body of the parent and then breaks away to form a new cell. |
µ | micro (µ m- micro meter) |
