Introduction
Living Organisms are composed of cells, either singular or multicellular, in different shapes and sizes.
Pre-Requisites:
Cell is the structural and fundamental unit of life (every organism)
Activity:
Most of the unicellular organisms can be viewed under macroscope or microscope. Insects, Plants and other living organism that we see are multi cellular. Use of compound microscope to view the various size and shape of cells.
Real Life Question:
How does the cell look like? How does it perform the functions?
