  • In 1665, Robert Hooke first discovered and named the cells.
  • Depending on the presence or absence of membrane bound cell organelles and nucleus, cells may be prokaryotic or eukaryotic.
  • The three major functional regions of the cell are: plasma membrane, nucleus and cytoplasm.
  • Plasma membrane is a thin, selectively permeable membrane, covering the cell and is made up of lipids and proteins.
  • Plasma membrane separates the contents of a cell from its outside environment and regulates the flow of substances to and from the cell through diffusion, facilitated diffusion, active transport and endocytosis.
  • Cells of Plants, fungi and bacteria contain both plasma membrane & cell wall.
  • The nucleus of a dividing cell shows rod-shaped chromosomes, made up of DNA and proteins. In a non-dividing cell, the chromosomes elongate and take the form of thread-like structures called chromatin fibres.
  • Cytoplasm is the fluid content of the cell, occurring between nucleus and plasma membrane. It stores several vital chemicals and is the site of certain important metabolic pathways. Several specialized cell organelles are present in the cytoplasm.
  • The various cell organelles include endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, lysosomes, mitochondria, plastids, vacuoles and centrosome.
  • Mitochondria are the ‘powerhouses of the cell’, as they provide energy for various metabolic activities.
  • Plastids occur in most plant cells. They are of three types: Chromoplasts, chloroplasts and leucoplasts.
  • Chromoplasts are coloured plastids (except green colour), chloroplasts are green coloured containing chlorophyll and carry out photosynthesis in plants. Leucoplasts are colourless plastids that store starch, oil and protein granules.
  • The large central vacuole of mature plant cells provides turgidity to the cell and also stores important substances.
  • Centrosome is found only in animal cells and consists of two centrioles. It helps in cell division.
