    Cells are the basic functional units of all organisms. Cells are the smallest unit of life and are often called the "building blocks of life". The distinction between prokaryotes and eukaryotes is considered to be the most important variation among groups of organisms. Eukaryotic cells contain membrane-bound organelles, such as the nucleus, while prokaryotic cells do not. The differences in cellular structure of prokaryotes and eukaryotes include the presence of mitochondria and chloroplasts, the cell wall, and the structure of chromosomal DNA. In this lab four cells were observed and they were Onion Epidermis Cell stained with Iodine, Elodea Freshwater Plant Cell, Epithelial Cells aka Human Cheek cells stained with Crystal Violet, and Unknown Cell. The difference between animal and plants cells is that animal cells does not have a cell wall or chloroplasts but plant cells do. Animal cells are round and irregular in shape while plant cells have fixed, rectangular shapes. Plant cells contains a large and central vacuoles while animal cells contains small and fewer vacuoles.…
