| 4818219121 | Eukaryotic Cell | A type of cell with a membrane-enclosed nucleus and membrane-enclosed organelles. Organisms with this type of cell (protists, plants, fungi, and animals) are called eukaryotes. | 0 | |
| 4818219122 | DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) | A double-stranded, helical nucleic acid molecule, consisting of nucleotide monomers with a deoxyribose sugar and the nitrogenous bases adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G), and thymine (T); capable of being replicated and determining the inherited structure of a cell's proteins. | 1 | |
| 4818219123 | Deductive Reasoning | A type of logic in which specific results are predicted from a general premise. | 2 | |
| 4818219126 | Inductive Reasoning | A type of logic in which generalizations are based on a large number of specific observations. | 3 | |
| 4818219135 | Prokaryotic Cell | A type of cell lacking a membrane-enclosed nucleus and membrane-enclosed organelles. Organisms with this type of cell (bacteria and archaea) are called prokaryotes. | 4 | |
