Types of cell in plant

Types of cell 

           In plants, the cell is broadly classified into two types based on the organization. They are 1) Prokaryotic cell and 2) Eukaryotic cell.

1. Prokaryotic cell

        The cell which shows primitive cellular organization is called prokaryotic cell. They do not have a nuclear membrane and nucleolus. So the nuclear components like DNA, RNA are scattered in the cytoplasm. The cell organelles like Endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi complex, Chloroplast, Mitochondrion and Vacuole are absent. eg. Nostoc, Oscillatoria and Escherichia coli.

2. Eukaryotic cell

           The cell which shows advanced cellular organization is called eukaryotic cell. they have an organized nucleus with nuclear membrane and nucleolus. DNA and RNA are found in chromosomes. All the cell organelles are present in the cytoplasm. eg. All higher plants and animals.

                 Since majority of the cells are minute in their size, they cannot be seen by the naked eyes. Hence, microscope is important in the study of cells. A microscope is an instrument through which the organisms are seen magnified.

                It consists of condenser lens, stage, objective lens, eye piece lens and adjusting knobs.
