|
Eukaryote |
an organism consisting of a cell or cells in which the genetic material is DNA in the form of chromosomes contained within a distinct nucleus. Eukaryotes include all living organisms other than the eubacteria and archaebacteria |
|
|
Prokaryote |
a microscopic single-celled organism that has neither a distinct nucleus with a membrane nor other specialized organelles. Prokaryotes include the bacteria and cyanobacteria. |
|
|
Multicellular |
(of an organism or part) having or consisting of many cells. |
|
|
Unicellular |
(of protozoans, certain algae and spores, etc.) consisting of a single cell.(of an evolutionary or developmental stage) characterized by the formation or presence of a single cell or cells. |
|
|
Ribosomes |
a minute particle consisting of RNA and associated proteins, found in large numbers in the cytoplasm of living cells. They bind messenger RNA and transfer RNA to synthesize polypeptides and proteins. |
|
|
Endoplasmic Reticulum |
a network of membranous tubules within the cytoplasm of a eukaryotic cell, continuous with the nuclear membrane. It usually has ribosomes attached and is involved in protein and lipid synthesis. |
|
|
Cytoplasm |
the material or protoplasm within a living cell, excluding the nucleus. |
|
|
Golgi Apparatus |
a complex of vesicles and folded membranes within the cytoplasm of most eukaryotic cells, involved in secretion and intracellular transport. |
|
|
Chromosome |
a threadlike structure of nucleic acids and protein found in the nucleus of most living cells, carrying genetic information in the form of genes. |
|
|
Vacuole |
a space or vesicle within the cytoplasm of a cell, enclosed by a membrane and typically containing fluid.a small cavity or space in tissue, especially in nervous tissue as the result of disease. |
