nucleus   in a eukaryotic cell, a membrane-bound organelle that contains he cell's DNA and that has a role in processes such as growth, metabolism, and reproduction  
🗑
organelle   1 of the small bodies that are found in e cytoplasm of a cell and that are specialized to perform a specific function  
🗑
prokaryote   a single-celled organism that does not have a nucleus or membrane-bound organelles; examples are archaea and bacteria  
🗑
