| 538727580 | Eukaryote | an organism with cells characteristic of all life forms except primitive microorganisms such as bacteria | |
| 538727581 | Cell Wall | a thin membrane around the cytoplasm of a cell | |
| 538727582 | Golgi Apparatus | a net-like structure in the cytoplasm of animal cells (especially in those cells that produce secretions) | |
| 538727583 | Nucleus | a part of the cell containing DNA and RNA and responsible for growth and reproduction | |
| 538727584 | Organelle | a specialized part of a cell | |
| 538727585 | Active Transport | transport of a substance (as a protein or drug) across a cell membrane against the concentration gradient | |
| 538727586 | ATP- Adenosine Triphosphate | An adenine-containing nucleoside triphosphate that releases free energy when its phosphate bonds are hydrolyzed. This energy is used to drive endergonic reactions in cells. | |
| 538727587 | Krebs Cycle | in all plants and animals: a series of enzymatic reactions in mitochondria involving oxidative metabolism of acetyl compounds to produce high-energy phosphate compounds that are the source of cellular energy | |
| 538727588 | Electrons Transport Chain | protons are moved into the thylakoid using energy. |
