Apoptosis is a form of programmed cell death that occurs in multicellular organisms and in some eukaryotic, single-celled microorganisms such as yeast. Wikipedia
Programmed cell death is the death of a cell as a result of events inside of a cell, such as apoptosis or autophagy. Wikipedia

Programmed cell death process Wikidata
Biological process Wikidata
The deliberate, programmed death of a cell. Apoptosis occurs as a normal part of life and helps the body stay healthy. If cells are damaged OmegaWiki
A process of programmed cell death by which cells undergo an ordered sequence of events which leads to death of the cell, as occurs during growth and development of the organism, as a part of normal cell aging, or as a response to cellular injury. Wiktionary
