What are lipids?
Eukaryotic cells are found in these three major types of organisms.
What are plants, animals, and fungi?
This type of membrane allows some things to pass through, but not all things.
What is semipermeable?
What process occurs when a cell divides uncontrollably and forms a mass of abnormal cells?
What is cancer?
