Cell - Smallest functional unit of a living organism, Chlorophyll - Green pigment found inside chloroplasts that absorbs solar energy and uses it in photosynthesis, daughter cell - a cell that results from parent cell division, eukaryotic cell - complex cell that contains a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles, mitochondrion - powerhouse organelle of a cell; the site of energy production; (plural mitochondria), mitosis - process of cell division to provide growth or repair, multicellular - an organism that has two or more cells, mutagen - a substance that may damage a cell’s genetic material (DNA), nucleus - (in biology) control centre of a cell that contains all the genetic material (DNA) for that cell, organelle - are membrane bound structures that performs specific functions within a cell., parent cell - the original cell before it undergoes cell division, photosynthesis - chemical process plants use to make glucose and oxygen from carbon dioxide, water, and energy from the sun, prokaryotic cell - primitive single-celled organism that has no nucleus, ribosome - cell organelle where protein production takes place, unicellular - an organism that exists as a single cell, Cell membrane - the ‘skin’ that holds the cell together. It controls what comes into and leaves the cell, Cell wall  - the skeleton of the plant, Chloroplast - organelle within the cell where photosynthesis takes place, Cytoplasm - a watery, jelly-like mixture that contains many smaller parts where the work of the cell takes place, EndoplasmicReticulum - pathways along which materials move through a cell, Lysosomes - organelles that get rid of wastes from cells, Ribosomes - organelles that produce proteins, Vacuole - small structure in animal cells that may contain wastes or chemicals, or large sap-filled structure in plant cells that stores water, wastes and nutrients,
