Mitochondria
26
a cell division in which two cells produced are identical to the parent cell
Mitosis
27
living things made up of more than one cell
Multicellular Organisms
28
a bi-layer membrane, which protects the nucleus by surrounding and acts as a barrier between the ell nucleus and organs of a cell
Nuclear Membrane
29
an important membrane found inside the nucleus; | It plays an vital role in the production of cell's ribosome
Nucleolus
30
large cell organelle bounded by the nuclear membrane
Nucleus
31
also called infectious agent is a biological agent that causes disease to its host
Pathogen
32
level below kindom in the classification system
Phylum
33
organism whose cells do not contain in a nucleus
Prokaryote
34
are small spherical organelles, composed of two sub-units, which can be found in the endoplasmic reticulum; translate genetic information in the form of mRNA into proteins
Ribosomes
35
an interbreeding population of organisms, which can produce healthy and fertile offspring
Species
36
living organism made up of a single cell
Unicellular Organism
37
are membrane-bound sacs that are used to store or transport substances around the cell
Vesicles
38
an example of vesicles
Lysosomes
39
are essential larger vesicles, and they are formed by the joining together of many vesicles; in plant cell they are important in maintaining turgor pressure
Vacuoles
