What are the two types of cells?
Prokaryotes & Eukaryotes
What is differentiation?
The process of which a cell changes to become specialized for its job
What is Nucleus?
controls the cell
What is Chloroplasts?

What is Bacteria
contains no nucleus and only contains cell wall, membrane and cytoplasm
What is Prokaryotes
a single celled organism that doesn’t membrane-bound nucleus
What is Eukaryotes
any cell with a nucleus and a cell membrane
`What are cells?
the building blocks of life
What is Diffusion
the movement of cells from a high to a low concentrated area
What is Osmosis
