Cells in general

Cell Theory

Unicellular and Multicellular

Plant cells and animal cells

Animal cells have lysosomes and plants do not

Plants have a cell membrane

Plants have a nucleus

Plant cells are square or rectangular

Animal cells are irregular or round in shape

Plant and animal cells are very different

Cells make up all living organisms in the humans body

According to cell theory, a cell is the smallest unit of life.

The movement of particles from an area of higher concentration to one of lower

concentration is known as diffusion.

Unicellular organisms are made up of a single cell that performs all of the human body's functions


Multicellular organisms have a variety of cells to complete their tasks.

Each and every living thing is made up of one or more cells.

Every cell comes from existing cells

Basic unit of structure and function of any organism

The activity of an organism depends on the total activity of the cells

All cells have four common components:

Plasma membrane ( outer covering of the cell )


Cytoplasm ( jelly like region in the cell


DNA ( Genetic material of the cell )


Ribosomes ( Particles that synthesise the proteins )
