Fundamental Unit of Life
Cell
 Cell is the fundamental unit of life
 All the living organisms are made up of cell
 It is the structural and functional unit of life because
whole body is made up of cells
 It is known as the fundamental unit of life because it
regulates all the functions inside an organisms
 The cell is a Latin word for “a little room”.
 Robert Hook (1665) discovered Cell.
Unicellular and Multicellular Organisms
Unicellular organisms:
 composed of single cell
 Single cell constitute the structure and entire function of
the organisms
 e.g. Amoeba, Paramoecium, Euglena
Multicellular organism:
 composed of many cells
 division of labour can be seen in these organisms
 e.g. plants , animals, human beings
Cell Structure
 Cells are made up of components called cell organelles
 A cell is capable to live and perform all their respective functions
due to the presence of cell organelles
 The structure seen in almost every cell is same: Plasma membrane,
nucleus and cytoplasm.
Cell Wall
 found in plant cells outside the plasma membrane
 rigid covering made up of cellulose
 provide structural support to the plants
Plasma membrane and its function
 It is the outermost covering of the cell.
 It is called as selective permeable membrane (because it
prevents movement of some materials).
 It helps in diffusion and osmosis
 Composed of bilayer of lipid and protein
Cytoplasm
 thick solution composed of water, salts and proteins that fills
the cell
 surrounded by cell membrane,
 Nucleus of the cell is surrounded by the cytoplasm
Nucleus
 small, round and membrane bound structure near center of a cell
 Fluid inside the nucleus in called nucleoplasm
 Covered by double layer called nuclear membrane
 plays a central role in cellular activities/reproduction.
 nucleus contains thread like structure called chromatin material which gets condensed into
chromosomes. The chromosomes contain information for inheritance of features from
parents to next generations in the form of DNA( Deoxyribo Nucleic Acid ) and protein
molecules.
 the functional segments of DNA are called genes
Golgi Apparatus
 First described by a scientist Camillo Golgi
 It is a system of membrane bound vesicles
called cisterns
 It functions include the storage,
modification and package of cell products
 The complex sugars are made from simple
sugars in the Golgi apparatus
 It is also involved in the formation of
lysosomes.
Lysosomes
 Sac like structure in a cell
surrounded by membrane
 contain powerful digestive
enzymes(enzymes are made by
RER) to digest the worn-out cell
organelles, bacteria etc.
 When the cell gets damaged,
lysosomes may burst and the
enzymes digest their own cell,
hence called as “Suicidal bags of
a cell”. It is a waste disposal
system of the cell.
Mitochondria
 It is covered by a double membrane
 Outer membrane is very porous and the
inner membrane is deeply folded
creating a large surface area for ATP
(Adenosine Triphosphate) molecule
synthesis.
 ATP is the energy currency of a cell;
hence the Mitochondria are called as
Power House of a Cell
 Mitochondria have their own DNA and
Ribosomes; therefore they can make
their own proteins
