Cells are the basic, fundamental unit of life. So, if we were to break apart an organism to the cellular level, the smallest independent component that we
would find would be the cell.
Explore the cell notes to know what is a cell, cell definition, cell structure, types and functions of cells. These notes have an in-depth description of all the
concepts related to cells.

Cell Theory
Functions of a Cell
Cells are the fundamental unit of life. They range in size from 0.0001 mm to nearly 150 mm across.
Cell Definition
“A cell is defined as the smallest, basic unit of life that is responsible for all of life’s processes.”
Cells are the structural, functional, and biological units of all living beings. A cell can replicate itself independently. Hence, they are known as the
building blocks of life.
Each cell contains a fluid called the cytoplasm, which is enclosed by a membrane. Also present in the cytoplasm are several biomolecules like proteins,
nucleic acids and lipids. Moreover, cellular structures called cell organelles are suspended in the cytoplasm.
What is a Cell?
A cell is the structural and fundamental unit of life. The study of cells from its basic structure to the functions of every cell organelle is called Cell Biology.
Robert Hooke was the first Biologist who discovered cells.
All organisms are made up of cells. They may be made up of a single cell (unicellular), or many cells (multicellular). Mycoplasmas are the smallest
known cells. Cells are the building blocks of all living beings. They provide structure to the body and convert the nutrients taken from the food into
energy.
Cells are complex and their components perform various functions in an organism. They are of different shapes and sizes, pretty much like bricks of the
buildings. Our body is made up of cells of different shapes and sizes.
Cells are the lowest level of organisation in every life form. From organism to organism, the count of cells may vary. Humans have more number of cells
compared to that of bacteria (https://byjus.com/biology/bacteria/).
Cells comprise several cell organelles that perform specialised functions to carry out life processes. Every organelle has a specific structure. The
hereditary material of the organisms is also present in the cells.
Discovery of Cells
Discovery of cells is one of the remarkable advancements in the field of science. It helps us know that all the organisms are made up of cells, and these
cells help in carrying out various life processes. The structure and functions of cells helped us to understand life in a better way.

Later Anton Van Leeuwenhoek observed cells under another compound microscope with higher magnification. This time, he had noted that the
bannerid=381&zoneid=47&sig=43d938908011b3467ddc508b010a1b559cdc34c21bd2869031703a4510b54fd9&dest=https%3A%2F%2
cells exhibited some form of movement (motility). As a result, Leeuwenhoek concluded that these microscopic entities were “alive.” Eventually, after
toast_biology%26utm_term%3D/biology/cells/%26utm_campaign%3Dtransform-your-childs-learning-at-byjus)
a host of other observations, these entities were named as animalcules.
In 1883, Robert Brown, a Scottish botanist, provided the very first insights into the cell structure. He was able to describe the nucleus present in the
cells of orchids.
Characteristics of Cells
Following are the various essential characteristics of cells:
The cell interior is organised into different individual organelles surrounded by a separate membrane.
The nucleus (major organelle) holds genetic information necessary for reproduction and cell growth.
Every cell has one nucleus and membrane-bound organelles in the cytoplasm.
Mitochondria, a double membrane-bound organelle is mainly responsible for the energy transactions vital for the survival of the cell.
Endoplasmic reticulum plays a significant role in the internal organisation of the cell by synthesising selective molecules and processing, directing
and sorting them to their appropriate locations.
Types of Cells
Cells are similar to factories with different labourers and departments that work towards a common objective. Various types of cells perform different
functions. Based on cellular structure, there are two types of cells:
Prokaryotes
Eukaryotes
Prokaryotic Cells
Main article: Prokaryotic Cells (https://byjus.com/biology/prokaryotic-cells/)
1. Prokaryotic cells have no nucleus. Instead, some prokaryotes such as bacteria have a region within the cell where the genetic material is freely
suspended. This region is called the nucleoid.
2. They all are single-celled microorganisms. Examples include archaea, bacteria, and cyanobacteria.
5. Prokaryotes generally reproduce by binary fission, a form of asexual reproduction. They are also known to use conjugation – which is often seen
as the prokaryotic equivalent to sexual reproduction (however, it is NOT sexual reproduction).
Eukaryotic Cells
Main article: Eukaryotic Cells (https://byjus.com/biology/eukaryotic-cells/)
4. The plasma membrane is responsible for monitoring the transport of nutrients and electrolytes in and out of the cells. It is also responsible for cell
to cell communication.
6. There are some contrasting features between plant and animal cells. For eg., the plant cell (https://byjus.com/biology/plant-cell/) contains
chloroplast, central vacuoles, and other plastids, whereas the animal cells do not.
Cell Structure
The cell structure comprises individual components with specific functions essential to carry out life’s processes. These components include- cell wall,
cell membrane, cytoplasm, nucleus, and cell organelles. Read on to explore more insights on cell structure and function.

Cell Membrane
bannerid=381&zoneid=47&sig=43d938908011b3467ddc508b010a1b559cdc34c21bd2869031703a4510b54fd9&dest=https%3A%2F%2
The cell membrane supports and protects the cell. It controls the movement of substances in and out of the cells. It separates the cell from the
toast_biology%26utm_term%3D/biology/cells/%26utm_campaign%3Dtransform-your-childs-learning-at-byjus)
external environment. The cell membrane is present in all the cells.
The cell membrane is the outer covering of a cell within which all other organelles, such as the cytoplasm and nucleus, are enclosed. It is also
referred to as the plasma membrane.
By structure, it is a porous membrane (with pores) which permits the movement of selective substances in and out of the cell. Besides this, the
cell membrane also protects the cellular component from damage and leakage.
It forms the wall-like structure between two cells as well as between the cell and its surroundings.
Plants are immobile, so their cell structures are well-adapted to protect them from external factors. The cell wall helps to reinforce this function.
Cell Wall
The cell wall is the most prominent part of the plant’s cell structure. It is made up of cellulose, hemicellulose and pectin.
The cell wall is present exclusively in plant cells. It protects the plasma membrane and other cellular components. The cell wall is also the
outermost layer of plant cells.
It provides shape and support to the cells and protects them from mechanical shocks and injuries.
Cytoplasm
The cytoplasm is a thick, clear, jelly-like substance present inside the cell membrane.
Most of the chemical reactions within a cell take place in this cytoplasm.
The cell organelles such as endoplasmic reticulum, vacuoles, mitochondria, ribosomes, are suspended in this cytoplasm.
Nucleus
The nucleus contains the hereditary material of the cell, the DNA.
The nucleus is surrounded by the nuclear envelope that separates the DNA from the rest of the cell.
The nucleus protects the DNA and is an integral component of a plant’s cell structure.
Cell Organelles
Cells are composed of various cell organelles that perform certain specific functions to carry out life’s processes. The different cell organelles, along
with its principal functions, are as follows:
Nucleolus
The nucleolus is the site of ribosome synthesis. Also, it is involved in controlling cellular activities and cellular reproduction.
Nuclear membrane
The nuclear membrane protects the nucleus by forming a boundary between the nucleus and other cell organelles.
Chromosomes
Chromosomes play a crucial role in determining the sex of an individual. Each human cells contain 23 pairs of chromosomes.
Endoplasmic reticulum
The endoplasmic reticulum is involved in the transportation of substances throughout the cell. It plays a primary role in the metabolism of
carbohydrates, synthesis of lipids, steroids and proteins.
Golgi Bodies

on how we can help you!
Golgi bodies are called the cell’s post office as it is involved in the transportation of materials within the cell.

Ribosome
bannerid=381&zoneid=47&sig=43d938908011b3467ddc508b010a1b559cdc34c21bd2869031703a4510b54fd9&dest=https%3A%2F%2
toast_biology%26utm_term%3D/biology/cells/%26utm_campaign%3Dtransform-your-childs-learning-at-byjus)
Ribosomes are the protein synthesisers of the cell.
Mitochondria
The mitochondrion is called “the powerhouse of the cell.” It is called so because it produces ATP – the cell’s energy currency.
Lysosomes
Lysosomes protect the cell by engulfing the foreign bodies entering the cell and help in cell renewal. Therefore, they are known as the cell’s suicide
bags.
Chloroplast
Chloroplasts are the primary organelles for photosynthesis. It contains the pigment called chlorophyll.
Vacuoles
Vacuoles store food, water, and other waste materials in the cell.
Cell Theory
Cell Theory was proposed by the German scientists, Theodor Schwann, Matthias Schleiden, and Rudolf Virchow. The cell theory states that:
A modern version of the cell theory was eventually formulated, and it contains the following postulates:
Functions of Cell
A cell performs major functions essential for the growth and development of an organism. Important functions of cell are as follows:
Energy Production
Cells require energy to carry out various chemical processes. This energy is produced by the cells through a process called photosynthesis
(https://byjus.com/biology/photosynthesis/) in plants and respiration in animals.

Aids in Reproduction
bannerid=381&zoneid=47&sig=43d938908011b3467ddc508b010a1b559cdc34c21bd2869031703a4510b54fd9&dest=https%3A%2F%2
A cell aids in reproduction through the processes called mitosis and meiosis. Mitosis is termed as the asexual reproduction where the parent cell
toast_biology%26utm_term%3D/biology/cells/%26utm_campaign%3Dtransform-your-childs-learning-at-byjus)
divides to form daughter cells. Meiosis causes the daughter cells to be genetically different from the parent cells.
Thus, we can understand why cells are known as the structural and functional unit of life. This is because they are responsible for providing structure to
the organisms and perform several functions necessary for carrying out life’s processes.

Q4 4. State the types of cells.
toast_biology%26utm_term%3D/biology/cells/%26utm_campaign%3Dtransform-your-childs-learning-at-byjus)
Cells are primarily classified into two types, namely
Prokaryotic cells
Eukaryotic cells
Cell Theory was proposed by Matthias Schleiden, Theodor Schwann, and Rudolf Virchow, who were German scientists. The cell theory states that:
All living species on Earth are composed of cells.
Mitochondria are known as the powerhouse of the cells. Their primary function is to produce the energy currency of the cells, ATP. It also regulates
cellular metabolism.
It helps in reproduction.
Golgi bodies pack and sort the proteins for secretion. It creates lysosomes and transports lipids around the cells.
Robert Hooke discovered cells in 1665. He observed a piece of cork under a compound microscope and noticed minute structures reminiscent of
small rooms. Consequently, he named his discovery “cells.”
Q10 10. Name the cell organelle that contains hydrolytic enzymes capable of breaking down organic matter.
Lysosomes
Q11 11. Which cellular structure regulates the entry and exit of molecules to and from the cell?
Cell membrane. It is a selectively permeable structure that controls the exit and entry of molecules into the cell.

I wasonjust
howconfused inyou!
we can help words like lysozome n rybozome. SER n RER. But today I mastered this chapter completely with the help of Byju’s. I also
tried to learn beyond my consepts. I was like asking the same question to my mentor again n again. But she never got frustrated and also
explained me each n every consept.

For me Byju’s is best way to learn only for those who really wanna learn.
