Parliament eventually become a bicameral house which means what?

It means that it eventually became split into two Chambers, the House of Lords and the House of Commons. The House of Commons has 649 politicians who are elected by the people to represent their interests in Government, and is thus a fully democratic institution. The House of Lords has 650 members who are UNelected, and consists of a mixture of life and hereditary Peers, senior Archbishops, senior judges and senior commanders of the armed forces. Any Bill that is passed by the Commons has to be approved by the Lords before it can become law, although the Commons does have the capacity to override any rejection by the Lords by use of the Parliament Act, which is a 'safety handle' that ensures that the peerage cannot override the will of democratically elected members of the Commons.

Which house of the english parliament is made up of member who are elected?

I assume you are talking about the UK Parliament. The House of Commons is made up entirely of elected representatives; the House of Lords is made up of a combination of members of the Peerage, some of whom are hereditary and some of whom are 'life peers', i.e. people who have been ennobled by the monarch but who cannot pass their title down through their family. Other members of the Lords include the countrie's top judges, the countrie's top archbishops, and very senior members of the military top brass.
