adenosine triphosphate
Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is the source of energy for use and storage at the cellular level. The structure of ATP is a nucleoside triphosphate, consisting of a nitrogenous base (adenine), a ribose sugar, and three serially bonded phosphate groups.

organelles
6 Cell Organelles
• Nucleus. Known as the cell’s “command center,” the nucleus is a large organelle that stores the cell’s DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). ...
• Ribosomes. Ribosomes are the protein factories of the cell. ...
• Endoplasmic reticulum. The endoplasmic reticulum can either be smooth or rough, and in general its function is to produce proteins for the rest of the cell to function. The rough endoplasmic reticulum has on it ribosomes, which are small, round organelles whose function it is to make those proteins.
• Golgi apparatus. The Golgi apparatus, or Golgi complex, functions as a factory in which proteins received from the ER are further processed and sorted for transport to their eventual destinations: lysosomes, the plasma membrane, or secretion. In addition, glycolipids and sphingomyelin are synthesized within the Golgi.
• Chloroplasts. Chloroplasts produce energy through photosynthesis and oxygen-release processes, which sustain plant growth and crop yield. As such, chloroplasts are responsible for the biosynthesis of active compounds such as amino acids, phytohormones, nucleotides, vitamins, lipids, and secondary metabolites.
• Mitochondria. Mitochondria are membrane-bound cell organelles (mitochondrion, singular) that generate most of the chemical energy needed to power the cell’s biochemical reactions. Chemical energy produced by the mitochondria is stored in a small molecule called adenosine triphosphate (ATP).

unicellular organisms
Unicellular organisms (like bacteria, yeast and archaea) typically grow using a method called binary fission. Here each single cell (mother cell) expands, replicates its genetic material, and divides into two cells (daughter cells). In this way, each time a new generation is produced the population doubles.

vibrato
a rapid, slight variation in pitch in singing or playing some musical instruments, producing a stronger or richer tone.
How Do You Get Vibrato In Your Voice?
You get vibrato in your voice by slightly backing off the tension applied to your vocal chords. This causes them to relax slightly and begin to oscillate between two pitches quickly - creating the vibrato voice effect.

circuit bending
The modification of electronic toys and synthesizers to make glitches and unique sounds using potentiometers, body contacts and switches
Me: How did Reed Ghazala actually come up with circuit bending?
Robbie: I don’t know, but I heard he used the term in the late 1990s.
Me: Yeah. I would like to try it out sometimes.
Robbie: I know what’s a great thing to circuit bend. A Casio SK-1 or other vintage Casio keyboard.
Me: Or even a Speak and Spell learning toy. It can also do great but strange sounds and glitches.
