| 111601473 | Chromatin | Long strands of DNA wrapped around proteins. | 26 | |
| 111601474 | Microfilament | Solid rod of protein, thinner than a microtubule, that enables a cell to move or change shape. | 27 | |
| 111601475 | Lysosome | A cell organelle that contains digestive enzymes. | 28 | |
| 111601476 | Concentration | A measure of the amount of solute dissolved in a solvent. | 29 | |
