Cell Size

The size of the cell are variable. In some organisms it can be small as 0.0001mm and can be large in some organisms up to six to twelve inches. Majority of the cells can’t be seen through naked eyes special microscopes are there to see those cells. Unicellular organisms are seen through the microscopes like the bacteria whereas single cell like the egg are large.

Cell Number, Shape and Size – Class 8 Notes

Organisms show Variety in Cell Number, Shape, and Size: Human beings consist of trillions of cells. Single-celled organisms are known as unicellular organisms—for example- bacteria, protists, and yeast. Multi-cellular organisms consist of more than one cell. Examples are humans, cows, dogs, and so on. Cells provide shape to the body which can be rounded, spherical, or elongated. In some organisms, the size can be as small as 0.0001mm, and large in some organisms up to six to twelve inches.

Shape and Structure of the Cell

There are different types of cells, shapes, and sizes from which the living organisms are made. The shape of an animal cell is rounded, spherical, or elongated whereas plant cells are rectangular and rigid in shape. Some of the cells are long and pointed on both ends such are spindle shape cells which help in movement. Some also consist of long and branched-like nerve cell which is used to transfer and receive the signals. Muscle cells are small. The cell membrane provides the shape to the animal and plant cells. The cell wall provides the additional covering to the cell membrane. This cell wall is present in the plant cells which provides shape and rigidity to the cell....
