The document discusses the structure and function of cells. It states that the cell is the basic unit of life and that all living things are made of cells. It then describes the key differences between plant cells, animal cells, prokaryotic cells, and eukaryotic cells. The rest of the document outlines the structural organization of cells and defines the major cell organelles including the plasma membrane, nucleus, cytoplasm, mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, lysosomes, plastids, and vacuoles.

Many cells group together and assume A single-cell constitutes the Nuclear envelope and Nucleus is well defined different functions in the body to form whole organism, e.g. Amoeba, membrane-bound with nuclear envelope, and various body parts, e.g. plants and Chlamydomonas and bacteria. organelles are absent, e.g. contains DNA in it, e.g. animals. Every multicellular organism has bacteria and cyanobacteria. plant and animal cell. come from a single cell which divides to form many cells of its own kind.
Plant Cell Animal Cell
Cell wall is present, so the cell shape is well defined. Comparitively larger, Generally smaller in size. Do not have cell wall. Prominent central space is occupied by a large vacuole. Plant cells lack centrosome and highly complex Golgi bodies are present. Animal cells and centrioles and nucleus lies at one side of the cell. possess centrioles and nucleus lies in the centre.
