Science Vocabulary

Define Growth.

• A specialized, usually spherical mass of protoplasm encased in a double membrane, and found in most living eukaryotic cells, directing their growth, metabolism, and reproduction, and functioning in the transmission of genic characters.
• The process of increasing in physical size.
• The tendency toward a relatively stable equilibrium between interdependent elements, especially as maintained by physiological processes.
• Consisting of a single cell.

Define Reproduction.

• A specialized, usually spherical mass of protoplasm encased in a double membrane, and found in most living eukaryotic cells, directing their growth, metabolism, and reproduction, and functioning in the transmission of genic characters.
• A microscopic living organism, which may be single celled or multicellular.
• The tendency toward a relatively stable equilibrium between interdependent elements, especially as maintained by physiological processes.
• The action or process of making a copy of something.
