What you'll learn?
Cells are the basic units of life, discovered by Robert Hooke in 1665. They are of two types: prokaryotes (small, simple cells without a nucleus, like bacteria) and eukaryotes (larger, complex cells with a nucleus and organelles, like plant and animal cells). Plant cells differ from animal cells by having a cell wall, chloroplasts, and a large vacuole. The cell membrane controls what enters and exits, while organelles such as the nucleus, mitochondria, ribosomes, ER, Golgi, lysosomes, and chloroplasts carry out vital functions. Cell size, shape, and number are key for efficiency, adaptation, and complexity.
