Summary Introduction
A cell is a basic structural and functional unit in all living organisms. It is considered as the building blocks of life. It consists of two types: prokaryotes (single-celled organisms) and eukaryotes (single or multi-celled organisms). The difference between this two major groups of organisms provide a clear information of
