What You Will Learnt?

✅ The fundamental organisational unit of life is the cell. 

✅ Cells are enclosed by a plasma membrane composed of lipids and proteins. 

✅ The cell membrane is an active part of the cell. It regulates the movement of materials between the ordered interior of the cell and the outer environment. 

✅ In plant cells, a cell wall composed mainly of cellulose is located outside the cell membrane. 

✅ The presence of the cell wall enables the cells of plants, fungi and bacteria to exist in hypotonic media without bursting. 

✅ The nucleus in eukaryotes is separated from the cytoplasm by double-layered membrane and it directs the life processes of the cell.

✅ The ER functions both as a passageway for intracellular transport and as a manufacturing surface. 

✅ The Golgi apparatus consists of stacks of membrane-bound vesicles that function in the storage, modification and packaging of substances manufactured in the cell. 

✅ Most plant cells have large membranous organelles called plastids, which are of two types—chromoplasts and leucoplasts. 

✅ Chromoplasts that contain chlorophyll are called chloroplasts and they perform photosynthesis. 

✅ The primary function of leucoplasts is storage. 

✅ Most mature plant cells have a large central vacuole that helps to maintain the turgidity of the cell and stores important substances including wastes. 

✅ Prokaryotic cells have no membrane-bound organelles, their chromosomes are composed of only nucleic acid, and they have only very small ribosomes as organelles. 

✅ Cells in organisms divide for growth of body, for repalcing dead cells, and for forming gametes for reproduction.
