A cell is the basic building block of all organisms. It is the smallest unit of organization in a living thing. They contain the organism\u2019s hereditary information (DNA) and can make copies of themselves in a process called mitosis.<br \/>Cells are made up of a nucleus, and a cytoplasm, enclosed by a thin wall called a membrane, which separates it from its surroundings. Plant cells have a nucleus, cytoplasm, and a cell membrane too. The main difference between a plant and an animal cell is that plant cells have a vacuole, chloroplast, and a cell wall.<\/p><p>Here is an illustration of an animal and a plant cell.<\/p><figure id=\"attachment_883\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-883\" style=\"width: 560px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-883 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/eschooltoday.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/animal-cell-and-plant-cell.jpg\" alt=\"Basic difference between a plant cell and an animal cell\" width=\"560\" height=\"162\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eschooltoday.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/animal-cell-and-plant-cell.jpg 560w, https:\/\/eschooltoday.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/animal-cell-and-plant-cell-300x87.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 560px) 100vw, 560px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-883\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">\u00a0Basic difference between a plant cell and an animal cell<\/figcaption><\/figure><p>Some microorganisms are composed of only one cell, whiles other larger organisms such as an ant or even a lion composed of millions of different cells.<\/p><ul><li>Unicellular organism:<\/li><\/ul><p>An organism with only one cell is called a unicellular organism.
