The cell is the structural and functional unit of all known living organisms.
It is the simplest unit of an organism that is classified as living, and is sometimes called the "building block of life."
• Some organisms, such as bacteria, are unicellular
(consist of a single cell).
Other organisms, such as humans, are multicellular.
(Humans have an estimated 100 trillion)
Diagram of an Animal Cell
Cells have specialized parts called organelles
Diagram of a Plant Cell
Plant cells have cell walls and chloroplasts
Plant Cell Wall
A cell wall is a rigid layer surrounding a plant cell, located external to the cell membrane, that provides the cell with structural support, and protection.
Cell Wall is shown in green
Chloroplasts
Chloroplasts are organelles found in plant cells that conduct photosynthesis. Chloroplasts absorb sunlight and use it in conjunction with water and carbon dioxide to produce sugars and oxygen
Cell Nucleus
The nucleus is a organelle found in most cells. It contains most of the cell's genetic information, organized as long DNA molecules to form chromosomes.
Cell Nucleus shown as Number 2
Cytoplasm
Cytoplasm is a gel-like, semi-transparent fluid that "fills" most cells. Cytoplasm allows for the movement of materials throughout the cell’s interior.
Cytoplasm is shown as light
