Cells can be categorized into prokaryotic and eukaryotic types based on structure and function. Prokaryotic cells lack a defined nucleus and organelles, while eukaryotic cells, which include plants, animals, fungi, and protists, have defined nuclei and can be autotrophic or heterotrophic. Different types of eukaryotic cells possess various structural features, such as cell walls and chloroplasts, contributing to their diverse functions and habitats.

1. Types of Cells
There are various categories of cells distinguished
by their structure, function, and characteristics.
Prokaryotic
Plant
Animal
Fungal
Protists
Lacking a defined nucleus.
Single-celled organisms or colonies.
Genetic material dispersed in the cytoplasm.
Cell wall in bacteria and archaea.
Absence of membrane-bound organelles.
Multicellular Eukaryotes.
Cell wall composed of cellulose.
Chloroplasts for photosynthesis.
Autotrophic cells.
Vacuoles for storage and support.
Multicellular Eukaryotes.
Possess a defined nucleus.
Heterotrophic cells.
Lack a cell wall.
Mobility: flagella, cilia, or amoeboid movement.
Unicellular or colonial eukaryotes.
Diverse range of life forms and habitats.
Some possess chloroplasts.
Specialized structures for mobility.
Autotrophic or heterotrophic, varying by type.
Eukaryotes with a defined nucleus.
They possess a chitin cell wall.
Reproduction through spores.
Heterotrophic, nutrient absorption.
Significant in the decomposition process.
