Understand about different components of cells like cytoplasm, nucleus and their functions. Compare the components of cells, structure, location and functions. Compare the structure of plant & animal cells. 1. Introductio n Ever thought about what living organisms are composed of or rather what is it that makes us living beings? Here canesh introduction to Cell. The cell is the smallest structural unit of a living organism. So, everything that we can do is possible because of the 10 trillion cells present in our body. The number is hugulia course, the function performed by them is even bigger. A Cell is the structural and functional unit of life. It is called "the basic unit of life". Cytology: It is a branch of science that deals with the study of cells with their components and functions. -:f:- 2. Story of Microscop e A microscope is an optical instrument that is used to magnify small objects... kin the,,,,_ 9 It is not clear who discovered the first microscope but Zacharias Janssen (1585) 1s credited for ma microscope. Anton van Leeuwenhoek - used a microscope with one lens to observe bacteria. He was the first to observe bacteria. 2.1 Types of Microscope There are broadly three types of mlcroecopee: (a) Simple microscope, (b) Compound microscope, (c) Electron microscope t I 11 ', l lW1 l 111/f MH I fl IM< l 111~J , t!
