Step 1: Introduction

Cell is a basic structural and functional unit of all life forms.

All organisms are made of at least single cell. No organism can have a body structure without cell.

Eukaryotic and prokaryotic are 2 types of cell which determines complexity in an organism.

Eukaryotic cell: It has prominent well-defined nucleus. True nuclear membrane is present. Membrane bound cell organelles are present.

Prokaryotic cell: It lacks well defined nucleus. True nuclear membrane is absent. Membrane bound cell organelles are absent.
