CELL
* Size is small (1-10
micrometre)
* Size is large (5-100
micrometre)
* Nucleus is absent
and known as
nucleoid.
* Nucleus is present
&
with nuclear
membrane.
* Contains single
chromosome.
* Contains a
number of
chromosomes.
* Cell division takes
place by budding or
fission.
*Cell division takes
place by mitosis or
meiosis.
ANIMAL CELL PLANT CELL
* Generally small in
size.
* Generally larger
than animal cell.
* No cell wall is
present.
* Cell wall in
addition to the
plasma membrane.
* Plastids are
absent. Vacuoles are
small.
* Plastids are
present. Vacuoles
are large.
* Nucleus is
generally near the
centre.
* Nucleus is present
near the periphery.

is porous & semi-permeable .
It is transparent, semifluid, colloidal
ground substance in which chromatin are
present.
It is a darky stained, spherical
structure.

9. • CELL IS THE STRUCTURAL AND FUNCTIONAL UNIT OF LIFE.
• CELL WAS DISCOVERED BY ROBERT HOOKE IN 1665.
• DIFFERENT CELL ORGANELLES ARE CELL MEMBRANE, CELL WALL, NUCLEUS,
GOLGI APPARATUS, LYSOSOMES, RIBOSOMES, MITOCHONDRIA, PLASTIDS &
VACUOLES.
• NUCLEUS IS THE MOST CONSPICUOUS AND LARGEST ORGANELLE OF A CELL.
• IT WAS DISCOVERED BY ROBERT BROWN IN 1831.
• IT IS ALSO KNOWN AS DIRECTOR OF THE CELL AS IT CONTROLS ALL THE
ACTIVITIES OF THE CELL
• NUCLEUS IS FORMED OF 4 COMPONENTS : NUCLEAR MEMBRANE ,
NUCLEOPLASM, NUCLEOLUS, NUCLEAR CHROMATIN.
