Practice Other Topics from Cell - Structure and Functions
This topic discusses the discovery of the cell. The cells of living organisms, which could be observed only after the discovery of the microscope. Today, we know a lot about cell structure with the help of highly magnified microscope.
In this topic, we will study the meaning of cell. It also describes the number of cells in a living body along with its shape and size in detail.
We have learned that all organisms have many organs. In this topic, let us learn further about its functions. We will understand that an organ is made up of smaller parts called tissues, and that tissue is a group of similar cells performing a specific function.
In this topic, we will learn the basic components of a cell. They are the cell membrane, cytoplasm and nucleus. The cytoplasm and nucleus are enclosed within the cell membrane. It is also called the plasma membrane.
This topic compares the plant and animal cell. We can understand the difference between plant and animal cell with the help of neatly labelled diagrams of the plant and animal cell.
