bacteria
type of cell that has a nucleus,organelles and linear DNA
eukaryotic
type of cell with no nucleus, no membrane covered organelles and circular DNA , known as bacteria
prokaryotic
membrane covered organelle that hold the cells DNA
nucleus
fluid inside of a cell

structure that enables a cell to live, grow, and reproduce
organelles
an organism that can only exist as a group of cells and can only survive if they remain together
multicelluar
provides strength and support to the cell membrane or plants
cell wall
group of cells that work together in the body to perform a specific job or function
tissue
keeps the cell membrane from collapsing and helps the cell move
cytoskeleton
prokaryotes that include such types as heat-loving, salt-loving, and methane-making
Archea
In a Eukarayotic cell, one of the structures in the nucleus that are made up of DNA and protein; in a prokaryytic cell, the main ring of DNA
chromosomes
