Virus
An infectious agent that can only replicate inside a host cell.
Prokaryotic Cell
A simple cell type without a nucleus or membrane-bound organelles.
Eukaryotic Cell
A complex cell type with a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles.
Influenza Virus
A virus that causes flu and spreads through coughing and direct contact.
Osmosis
The movement of water molecules from an area of high concentration to low concentration through a semi-permeable membrane.
Diffusion
The movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration.
Active Transport
The movement of molecules against their concentration gradient, requiring energy (ATP).
Passive Transport
The movement of molecules along their concentration gradient without the use of energy.
Cell Cycle
A series of phases that cells go through to grow and divide.
Meiosis
A process of cell division that results in four genetically different gametes.
DNA
The molecule that carries the genetic instructions for life.
Mutation
A change in the DNA sequence that can affect genetic information.
Enzyme
A protein that accelerates chemical reactions in the body.
Biomolecule
A large molecule necessary for life, including carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids.
Cell Differentiation
The process by which cells become specialized for specific functions.
Photosynthesis
The process by which plants convert light energy into chemical energy in the form of glucose.
Cellular Respiration
The process by which cells break down glucose to release energy in the form of ATP.
Ribosomes
Cellular structures that synthesize proteins by translating messenger RNA.
Lipid
A biomolecule that is insoluble in water and used for energy storage and membrane structure.
Carbohydrate
A biomolecule that provides energy and structural support to cells.
Nucleic Acid
Biomolecules that carry genetic information, such as DNA and RNA.
Antibody
A protein produced by the immune system to neutralize pathogens.
Gene Expression
The process by which information from a gene is used to synthesize a functional gene product, often a protein.
Nucleotide
The basic building block of nucleic acids, composed of a phosphate group, a sugar, and a nitrogenous base.
