Vocabulary:
 Prokaryote: no nucleus and no membrane-bound organelles

Eukaryote: cells that have a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles

Cell Wall: layer of sugars that surrounds the cell membrane and offers support

Chloroplasts: organelle that performs photosynthesis

Autotroph: organism that makes its own food (producer)

Heterotroph: organism that eats other organisms as food (consumer)

Binary fission: asexual reproduction that involves cell splitting

Conjugation: asexual reproduction that involves the transfer of genetic material to new cells

Extremophiles: bacteria that lives in very extreme and harsh environmental conditions

Am oeba: a unicellular organism that has no true form and moves using a pseudopod (false foot)
