A cell is the smallest unit that can live on its own and that makes up all living organisms and the tissues of the body. A eukaryote is an organism whose cells contain a nucleus within a membrane. A prokaryote is a single molecule, or chromosome, of circular DNA DNA stands for Deoxyribonucleic acid Amoeba is one celled among the simplest of all living organisms. Relationship between cells organs, tissues, systems and organisms Cooperative assemblies of similar cells form tissues, and a cooperation between tissues in turn forms organs Printable Animal Cell Diagram -- Labeled, Unlabeled, and Blank  **Differences between Animal and Plant Cells** An animal cell only a cell membrane, a cytoplasm, and nucleus whereas a plant cell as a cell membrane, cell wall, cytoplasm, nucleus and vacuole. Similarities Cell membrane Nucleus Cytoplasm Functions A cell membrane forms the boundary between the cell contents and the surroundings. Cytoplasm is all the activities of the cell take place here. It contains cell organelles, such as mitochondria and ribosomes, and food reserves such as glycogen, starch or oil droplets. Nucleus contains the chromosomes which are made up of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and contain the genetic code. The cell wall is a nonliving layer outside layer outside the membrane of a plant cell. Vacuole is a mature plant cell has a large central vacuole filled with cell sap, which is a dilute solution of salts and sugars. Chloroplast is an organelle, containing the pigment chlorophyll, found in the cytoplasm of plant cells TYPES OF MICROSCOPES 1.Stereo Microscope Compound Microscope: Definition, Diagram, Parts, Uses \... Polarizing microscopes are used to detect peculiar optical patterns and phase defects in liquid crystals.
