The Cell: The smallest unit in
living things that shows the characteristics of life; the basic building blocks of life.

What is a cell’s function? Each cell contains
information (DNA) that is used as instructions for growth, functioning, and development.
These dictate the genetic outcome of the plant and determine the success of the plant without regard for environmental factors.

The two main types of cells are: Plant Cell
Animal Cell

Why are plant cells different? Plant cells has several different organelles
that are not found in the animal cell. These organelles assist the cell in obtaining
nutrients or eating, which is called PHOTOSYNTHESIS.
This allows plants to make their own food, or be called autotrophs.
Animal cells lack these organelles because they use CELLULAR RESPIRATION. They are unable to make their own food.
Therefore they are called heterotrophs because they cannot make their own food.

Nucleus Serves as the
control centre for a cell.
If it is removed the cell dies.
Relays messages to other organelles within the cell itself or to other cells around it.

Contain pigments used in photosynthesis, and the types of pigments present can change or determine the cell's color.
