CHAPTER 1
Introduction
All living things are made up of units called cells. A cell, the basic unit of life, is a microscopic structure that forms the basic structural as well as functional unit of living organisms. Cells can be divided into two categories called prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. Prokaryotic cells are simple cells that lack nucleus and membrane-bound organelles whereas, eukaryotic cells are more complex cells comprising nuclear and cytoplasmic material sheathed by a cell membrane. Plant cells are the cells found in plants comprising sub cellular organelles. Both plants and animals come under eukaryotic cells. Eukaryotic cells have a standard set of features, however, plant and animal cells do have their differences.
A plant cell is actually a large microscopic 'fully functioning ' city, literally and figuratively, housing miniature structures known as organelles. It is fun to teach about a plant cell diagram
