molecule
sharing of electrons between atoms CORRECT ANWER cytology
study of cells CORRECT ANWER Cytoplasm
3 parts, all the stuff inside the cell beside the nucleus, fluid called cytosol,
organelles, inclusions
pigments and proteins that are floating in the cell that aren't big enough to be
organelles CORRECT ANWER cytoskeleton
structural framework of the cell, supports it and gives it its shape, anchors proteins
in plasma membrane CORRECT ANWER deoxyribonucleic acid

moves from area of greater concentration to area of lesser concentration just like
putting food coloring in water CORRECT ANWER disaccharides
