    Cell: Fundamental Unit of Life

    ❖ All plants and animals are made up of cells.


    ❖ Cells are the structural and functional unit of life.
    ❖ Cells are microscopic.
    ❖ Eggs are giant cells. The largest egg is the egg of an ostrich.
    ❖ Both plant and animal cell show a variety of shapes and sizes related to the task it has to perform
    as part of tissue or organ system.

    Structures of the Cell


    ❖ The Cell has three main parts: The cell membrane, the
    nucleus, and the cytoplasm.

    PLASTIDS
    ❖ Found only in plant cell.
    ❖ There are three types of plastids.
    ❖ Chloroplast- They contain green pigment chlorophyll which takes part in Photosynthesis.
    ❖ Chromoplast- They give red and yellow color to flowers and fruits and attracts insects for
    pollination.
    ❖ Leucoplast- They are colorless plastids which store food in the form of starch, proteins and fats.

    ❖
    VACUOLE
    ❖ Vacuole is a vesicle within the cytoplasm of a cell which is enclosed by a membrane called
    tonoplast.
    ❖ It maintains turgidity of the cell and contains dissolved pigments, fats, sugars, proteins.

    ❖
    CENTROSOME
    ❖ Found only in animal cells.
    ❖ It contains two tubular structures called centrioles.
    ❖ Centrioles initiate cell division in animal cells.
