     The cell is the fundamental unit of life. All the life activities are carried out by cells. The organisms are classified based on the number of cells present in them. Unicellular organisms are single-celled, while multicellular organisms have a large number of cells.

     Unicellular organisms are believed to be one of the earliest forms of life on earth. Eventually, more complex multicellular organisms evolved from these unicellular life forms over the aeons. Multicellular organisms have specialized cells with complicated cell organelles, which unicellular organisms typically lack.

     In an ecosystem, plants have the role of producers while animals have taken the role of consumers. Hence, their daily activities and functions vary, so do their cell structure. Cell structure and organelles vary in plants and animals, and they are primarily classified based on their function. The difference in their cell composition is the reason behind the difference between plants and animals, their structure and functions.

     Each cell organelle has a particular function to perform. Some of the cell organelles are present in both plant cells and the animal cell, while others are unique to just one. Most of the earth’s higher organisms are eukaryotes, including all plants and animals. Hence, these cells share some similarities typically associated with eukaryotes.

     For example, all eukaryotic cells consist of a nucleus, plasma membrane, cytoplasm,  peroxisomes, mitochondria, ribosomes and other cell organelles.
