Practice Other Topics from Cell: The Unit of Life

This topic introduces us to the cell. It defines cells and discusses the discovery of cells. It explains in detail the characteristics, types and functions of a cell. It also depicts the structure of a cell with the aid of a diagram.

Science>Biology>Cell: The Unit of Life>Invention of Microscope and Its Different Types

This topic discusses the invention of the microscope. It describes the different types of microscope. It also briefs on ordinary compound microscope with the help of a labelled diagram.

In this topic, We will study various types of cells in detail. We will explore the concept of the cell. In addition, we will learn about single-celled, few-celled, and multi-celled organisms.

Science>Biology>Cell: The Unit of Life>Variation in the Size, Shape and Number of Cells

In this topic, we will deal with the concept of variation in the size, shape and number of cells in detail. We will study that the small size of the cell presents a larger surface area and a greater efficiency.

Science>Biology>Cell: The Unit of Life>Structural Organisation of a Cell

The topic of the structural organisation of a cell illustrates each and every component of the cell. It basically focuses on cell organelles. It also provides information on the plasma or cell membrane, cell wall, cytoplasm and nucleus.

In this topic, we will understand the meaning of cell organelles in detail. We will deal with the status of organelles in the cell. Moreover, we will explore that the cell organelles are living parts.

Science>Biology>Cell: The Unit of Life>Plant Cells and Animal Cells

Within this topic, we will unfold the concept of plant and animal cells in detail. We will study a generalized structure of an animal and plant cell. We will also learn the features of various parts of the cell.

In this topic, we will emphasize on the notion of protoplasm in detail. We will study protoplasm as the living substance in an organism. Furthermore, we will focus on the elements that are in the form of specific compounds.

In this topic, we will study the concept of the cellular activities in detail. We will understand the notion of prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic cells as well. Moreover, we will discuss the difference between these two.
