| migration | movement of animals from one place to another |
| hibernation | inactive state of animals during winter |
| spontaneous generation | living organisms come from non-living organisms |
| asexual reproduction | reproducing with one parent |
| sexual reproduction | reproducing with 2 parents |
| microscope | makes small objects appear larger |
| eyepiece lens | the piece you look through on a microscope to view an object |
| proton | in an atom - in the nucleus - positive |
| neutron | in an atom - in the nucleus - neutral charge |
| eletron | in an atom - around the nucleus - negative charge |
| atomic number | number of protons and electrons |
| nucleus | control center of the cell |
| cell membrane | supports cell |
| cell wall | in plant cells - gives shape |
| vacuole | stores water and waters |
| chloroplast | found in plant cells - used during photosynthesis to make food |
| ribosome | make proteins |
| Mitochondria | "powerhouse" - make energy |
| ER | "highway" - transports material through cell |
| passive transport | moving molecules without using energy |
| active transport | moving molecules using energy |

| heredity | passing of traits from parents to offspring |
| genes | controls traits |
| homozygous | same gene (TT) |
| heterozygous | different genes (Tt) |
| dominant | "stronger" gene - shows trait |
| recessive | "weak" gene - does not show trait |
| genotype | gene combinations in punnett square |
