,• The cell is the basic unit of an organism structure or
The cell is the basic unit of function/life.
• All cells arise from pre-existing cells.
• Cells tissues organs body systems human
body/living organism
, WHY STUDY THE CELL
• The cell is the basic unit of life and disease
conditions affect specific cells
• Interventions in terms of drugs target specific cells
• Understanding the cell structure helps us develop
and carry out interventions that are efficient, and
appropriate to sustain life
, Types of living organism
There are two types of organisms the Unicellular and
Multicellular Organisms
1. The Unicellular Organisms
• One cell
• Bacteria and protists
• Carry out all the functions of life in one cell
2. Multicellular Organisms
• More than one cell
• Plants, animals, and fungi
• Cells are differentiated (specialized)
