Cell
Fundamental units of living things. All living things are made up of cells. The two type of
cells, prokaryotic and eukaryotic may differ structurally, yet they also have some
common fundamental traits and designs.

PROKARYOTE EUKARYOTE
microscopic diameter: 50 micrometers

diameter: 5 micrometers 5 times bigger than prokaryotic cell

No nucleus Golgi appratus, endoplasmic reticulum, lysosomes

DNA is found in the cytoplasm bigger cell organelles

animal cells do not have a cell wall. ANIMAL CELL
both animal and plant, range in size
between 1 and 100 micrometers
visible only with the aid of a
microscope.

Eukaryotic cells
Cell wall that encloses the cell
membrane
Chloroplast, central vacuole are
present in plant cells and absent in
animal cells.

The study of cells is a critical part of modern biology. Cells are
the basic unit of life, and their properties and behavior have a
profound impact on everything around them. Cells are the
foundation of all living tissues, and their basic functions - such
as reproduction, growth, and metabolism - are essential to the
survival of all organisms. Understanding life's architecture and
functions is the first step in comprehending the complex
interactions that shape and produce it.
