CELL VARIATION IN NUMBER

BODIES OF ORGANISM MAY CONSIST OF ONE OR MANY
CELLS .
ORGANISM WHOSE BODY CONSIST OF SINGLE CELL ARE
CALLED UNICELLULAR ORGANISMS.
EXAMPLES; AMOEBA , PARAMOECIUM , EUGLENA

ORGANISM WHOSE BODY CONSIST OF MANY CELLS ARE

CALLED MULTICELLULAR ORGANISM.
EXAMPLES : HUMAN BEINGS, ANIMALS AND PLANTS.

CELL VARIATION IN
SHAPE
CELL EXIST IN DIFFERENT SHAPES. THEY CAN BE DISC-SHAPED,
POLYGONAL,
RECTANGULAR , BRANCHED, OR EVEN IRREGULAR. THE SHAPE OF
A CELL DEPENDS ON THE SPECIFIC FUNCTION IT PERFORMS.

HERE ARE A FEW EXAMPLES THAT ILLUSTRATE THIS -

NERVE CELL
THEY ARE ELONGTED
IN SHAPE

MUSCLE CELL
THEY ARE THIN AND
LONG IN SHAPE

SKIN CELL
THEY ARE THIN AND
FLAT IN SHAPE

CELL VARIATION IN
SIZE AND CANNOT BE
MOST CELLS ARE MICROSCOPIC
SEEN WITH
NAKED EYES. THE SMALLEST CELLS ARE BACTERIA,
WHICH
GENERALLY RANGE IN SIZE FROM 0.1 TO 0.5
MICROMETRE.
THE LARGEST CELL IS THE EGG OF AN OSTRICH,
WHICH IS 170 MILLIMETRE IN DIAMETER. HUMAN
NERVE CELLS ARE BELIVE TO BE THE LONGEST
CELLS.

THE SMALLEST CELL IS BACTERIA SIZE 0.1 TO 0.5

micrometre

THE LARGEST CELL IS

OSTRICHS EGG SIZE
170 MILLIMETER IN DIAMETRE
