STRUCTURAL
UNIT OF LIFE
 A CELL IS THE BASIS FUNCTIONAL AND
STRUCTURAL UNIT OF OUR LIFE. CELL IS
DISCOVERED BY ROBERT HOOK IN 1665 . HE
OBSERVSD CELLS IN THE CORK OF SLICE
WITH THE HELP OF MICROSCOPE.
 IN ADDITION TO THE PLASMA
MEMBRANE IT HAVE ANOTHER
RIGD OUTER COVERING CALLED
THE CELL WALL.
IT IS THE OUTER MOST COVERING OF THE CELL
THAT SEPARATE THE CONTENTS OF THE
CELLFROM ITS EXTERNAL ENVIRONMENT. THE
PLASMA MEMBRANE ALLOWS OR PERMIT THE
ENTRY AND EXITS OF SOME MATERIAL IN AND
OUT OF THE CELL.
THE ENOPLASMIC RETICULUM IS A LARGE NETWORK OF
MEMBRANE BOUND TUBES AND SHEET. IT LOOK LIKES
LONG TUBLEUS OR APPRATUS OBLONG BAGS. THE ER
MEMBRANE SIMILAR I N STRUCTURE TO THE PLASMA
MEMBRANE.
ALTHOUGH THE ER VARIES GREATLY IN
APPEARANCE IN DIFFERENT CELL. IT ALWAYS FORM A
NETWORK SYSTEM .
ONE FUNCTION OF THE ER IS TO SERVE
AS CHANNELS FOR THE TRANSPORT OF
MATERIALS(ESPICIALLY PROTIENS) BETWEEN VARIOUS REGION
OF THE CYTOPLASM OR BETWEEN THE CYTOPLASM AND
NUCLEUS.
VACUOLES ARE THE STORAGE SACS FOR
SOLID OR LIQUID CONTENTS. VACUOLES
ARE SMALL IN SIZE IN ANIMAL CELL.
VACUOLES ARE LARGE IN SIZE IN PLANT
CELL. THE CENTRAL VACUOLE OF SOME
PLANT CELL MAY OCCUPY 50-90% OF THE
CELL VOLUME.
MITOCHONDRIA IS KNOWN AS THE
POWERHOUSES OF THE CELL. THE
ENERGY REQUIRED FOR VARIOUS
CHEMICAL ACTIVITIES NEEDED FOR
LIFE IS RELEASED BY
MITOCHONDRIA IN THE FROM OF
( ATP ). MOLECULES.
LYSOSOMES ARE KIND OF WASTE DISPOSAL
SYSTEM OF THE CELL. LYSOSOMES HELP TO
KEEP THE CELL CLEAN BY DIGESTING ANY
FORIGN MATERIAL AS WELL AS WORN OUT
CELL ORGANELLES. LYSOSOMES ARE THE
MEMBRANE BOUND SACS FILLED WITH
DIGESTIVE ENZYMES. THESE ENZYMES ARE
MADE BY ROUGH ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM.
