 What is Cell ?
Cell (biology), basic unit of life. Cells are the
smallest structures capable of basic life
processes, such as taking in nutrients,
expelling waste, and reproducing. All living
things are composed of cells. Some
microscopic organisms, such as bacteria and
protozoa, are unicellular, meaning they
consist of a single cell. Plants, animals, and
fungi are multicellular; that is, they are
composed of a great many cells working in
concert. But whether it makes up an entire
bacterium or is just one of trillions in a
human being, the cell is a marvel of design
and efficiency. Cells carry out thousands of
biochemical reactions each minute and
reproduce new cells that perpetuate life.
Structure Of Cell
Cells fall into one of two
categories
1.Prokaryotic-In a prokaryotic cell,
found only in bacteria and
archaebacteria, all the
components, including the
DNA, mingle freely in the cell’s
interior, a single compartment
2.Eukaryotic - which make up
plants, animals, fungi, and all
other life forms, contain
numerous compartments, or
organelles, within each cell.
Plant Cell Structure
Plants are unique among the
eukaryotes, organisms whose
cells have membrane-enclosed
nuclei and organelles, because
they can manufacture their own
food. Chlorophyll, which gives
plants their green color,
enables them to use sunlight to
convert water and carbon
dioxide into sugars and
carbohydrates, chemicals the
cell uses for fuel.
Animal Cell Structure

 Animal cells are typical of

the eukaryotic cell, enclosed
by a plasma membrane and
containing a membrane-
bound nucleus and
organelles. Unlike the
eukaryotic cells of plants
and fungi, animal cells do
not have a cell wall. This
feature was lost in the
distant past by the single-
celled organisms that gave
rise to the kingdom
Animalia. Most cells, both
animal and plant, range in
size between 1 and 100
micrometers and are thus
visible only with the aid of a
microscope.
