| A | B |
|---|
| Benign | Not progressive; usually encapsulated with no changes in surrounding tissue |
| Capsid | The protein coverage around virus particle |
| Chromatin | Unraveled, loose genetic material found in cell nucleus |
| Centrioles | Organelle that prepares for cell morphing preceding mitosis |
| Centrosomes | Region in cytoplasm containing centrioles where spindling occurs prior to mitosis |
| Cilia | Hair-like structures that rhythmically undulate to propel particles |
| Cytoplasm | Formative material within the cell that suspends all organelles |
| Deoxyribonucleic acid | Sequenced pairs of nucleotides forming double-helix that when segmented will make up a gene |
| Diabetes Mellitus | A condition resulting from insufficient insulin production causing a high build-up of blood glucose |
| Endocytosis | Process of cell ingestion |
| Endoplasmic reticulum | An organelle with a network of channels that is the site of protein, fat and glycogen production |
| Exocytosis | Process of transporting products outside of the cell |
| Flagella | A hair-like structure used for motility |
| Fungi | A plant-like organism including yeasts and molds that thrive on dead organic matter |
| Golgi apparatus | The packaging center for the cell used for the process of transportation |
| Hypercholesterolemia | A condition resulting with an increase of cholesterol in the blood |
| Lysosomes | An organelle with digestive enzymes that protects the cell from invasion |
| Malignant | Cancerous; a mutation in cells and tissue aggressively imposing on surrounding structures |
| Metastasis | The process by which cancerous cells travel through lymphatic system to invade distant structures |
| Mitochondria | The organelle responsible for cellular respiration |
| Neoplasm | New formative material causing either a benign or malignant change in tissue or organ |
| Organelles | Small cellular structures with specialized functions akin to miniature body systems |
| Organism | An individual living thing |
| Osmosis | The movement of water or solvent across a semi-permeable membrane to create a balanced concentration |
| Phagocytosis | An example of endocytosis resulting in ingestion of solid particles into the cell; cell eating |
| Phenylketonuria | PKU; an inherited disease causing brain injury and death when phenylketones build-up in the body |
| Pinocytosis | An example of endocytosis resulting in ingestion of liquid particles into the cell; cell drinking |
| Protozoa | Unicellular organisms such as protozoa that thrive on decaying matter |
| Ribonucleic acid | Molecule contained in ribosomes and necessary for making proteins |
| Ribosomes | Organelles made of RNA and protein material found within the cytoplasm and on the surface of endoplasmic reticulum and is the main site of protein synthesis |
| Vesicle | A membrane-bound storage sac with a cell |
