Deoxyrbonucleic Acid [DNA])
Two main types of cells Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic
Prokaryote Small and simple, do not have clearly defined
compartments inside of them
Eukaryotes organisms made up of one or more cells that
have a nucleus and membrane- bound
organelles
Organelles compartments inside of the cell that contain
specific groups of macromolecules and carry
out specific cellular functions.
microorganism single-celled life forms
Tissues A group of similar cells that perform the same
function.
Organs A collection of tissues that work together to carry out
a common general function.
organ system the higher level of organization that consists of
functionally related organs
