Cell is the fundamental structural and functional unit of all living organisms. This statement can be best justified by the fact that:
1. | The cells contain nucleic acids that contain genetic information |
2. | A large number of organelles present in the cell perform various functions |
3. | Anything less than a complete structure of a cell does not ensure independent living |
4. | All multi-cellular organisms begin their life as a single celled zygote |
1. | Only eukaryotic cells contain a cell membrane. |
2. | Prokaryotic cells have membrane-bound organelles, while eukaryotic cells do not. |
3. | Eukaryotic cells have a well-defined nucleus, while prokaryotic cells do not. |
4. | Prokaryotic cells are generally larger than eukaryotic cells. |
