Cell Structure and Function Concepts

The video tutorial explains the differences between plant and animal cells, covering key components such as the cell membrane, cell wall, nucleus, cytoplasm, mitochondria, vacuoles, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi body, plastids, and centrosomes. It highlights the unique features of each cell type and their functions, including energy production, storage, and genetic material management. The video concludes with a discussion on protoplasm and its role in determining cell viability.
