The smallest unit of life capable of independent function; the building block of all living organisms.

Organisms composed of a single cell, carrying out all life functions within that single unit.

Organisms composed of many different types of cells, each specialized for a specific function.

A group of similar cells that have a common origin and work together to perform a specific function.

A type of reproduction involving a single parent that creates genetically identical offspring through cell division or budding.

A type of reproduction involving the union of two parent cells (gametes) to create genetically unique offspring.

The process by which organisms take in and use energy to maintain life functions.

The molecule responsible for carrying genetic information and directing all cellular processes.

The process by which organisms grow and change over time, involving an increase in size and complexity.

The process of cells specializing to perform specific functions, leading to the formation of tissues and organs.

Any factor in the environment that causes a response in an organism.

The ability of an organism to maintain a stable internal environment despite external changes.

The process of change in a group of organisms over generations, driven by natural selection.

A trait or characteristic that helps an organism survive and reproduce in its environment.

A type of cell that lacks a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles, such as mitochondria. They are typically smaller and simpler than eukaryotic cells.

A type of cell that has a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles, They are typically larger and more complex than prokaryotic cells.

The outer boundary of a cell, acts as a barrier between the cell's internal environment and the external environment.

A property of the plasma membrane that allows certain molecules to pass through while blocking others.

The process by which cells take in large molecules from their surroundings by engulfing them, forming a vesicle.

The process by which cells release large molecules from their interior to the outside by fusing a vesicle with the plasma membrane.

The ability of cells to communicate with each other through chemical signals.
