- Provides:
- Strength (เคฎเคเคฌूเคคी)
- Rigidity (เคเค ोเคฐเคคा)
๐ฟ 5. Plastids (in plants)
Types:
- Chloroplast → Photosynthesis (contains chlorophyll)
- Storage plastids → Store food
๐ง 6. Vacuole
- Large in plant cells
- Stores:
- Water
- Waste
- Nutrients
- Maintains cell shape
๐ Small in animal cells
⚡ 7. Mitochondria
- Known as:
⭐ Powerhouse of the cell
- Produces energy
๐ 4. Variation in Cell Shape
๐พ Animal Cells
Examples:
- Muscle cell → spindle-shaped → movement
- Nerve cell → long & branched → fast message transfer
- Cheek cell → thin & flat → protection
๐ฟ Plant Cells
- Shapes:
- Rectangular
- Oval
- Tube-like
- Some form tubes → transport water
๐️ 5. Levels of Organisation (เคीเคตों เคा เคธंเคเค เคจ)
เค्เคฐเคฎ (Order):
1. Cell (เคोเคถिเคा) → Basic unit
2. Tissue (เคเคคเค) → Group of cells
3. Organ (เค
ंเค) → Group of tissues
4. Organ System (เค
ंเค เคคंเคค्เคฐ)
5. Organism (เคीเคต) → Complete living being
๐งซ Types of Organisms
๐น Unicellular (เคเคเคोเคถिเคीเคฏ)
- Made of one cell
- Examples:
- Amoeba
- Bacteria
๐ธ Multicellular (เคฌเคนुเคोเคถिเคीเคฏ)
- Made of many cells
- Examples:
- Plants
- Animals
๐ฅ Important Fact
- Life begins from a single egg cell
๐ Example: Ostrich egg yolk = largest known cell
๐ฆ 6. Microorganisms (เคธूเค्เคท्เคฎเคीเคต)
๐ Definition
Very tiny organisms → cannot be seen without microscope
๐ฌ Types of Microbes
- Protozoa
- Algae
- Fungi
- Bacteria
- Viruses
๐ Found In:
- Water
- Soil
- Air
- Food
- Inside our body
๐งช 6.1 Examples
๐ง Pond Water
- Amoeba
- Paramecium
- Algae
๐ฑ Soil
- Fungi (bread mould)
- Algae
- Bacteria
๐ฆ Viruses
- Not made of cells
- Reproduce only inside a host (เคฎेเค़เคฌाเคจ)
- Cause diseases
๐ 7. Microorganisms Around Us
- Grow on rotten fruits & vegetables
- Pickles & murabba remain safe because:
- Salt & sugar act as preservatives (เคธंเคฐเค्เคทเค)
❄️ Extreme Conditions
Microbes can survive in:
- Hot springs
- Snow
- Harsh environments

- Some microbes live in our intestine
- Help in digestion
♻️ 8. Role of Microorganisms
๐ฑ (A) Cleaning the Environment

๐งฌ 9. Cell – The Basic Unit of Life
๐ง Key Concept
All living beings are made of cells
๐น Unicellular
- One cell performs all functions
๐ Example: Amoeba, yeast
๐ธ Multicellular
- Different cells perform different functions
- Work together
๐ฆ Special Cells
Bacterial Cells:
- Have:
- Cell wall
- Cell membrane
- Nucleoid (not true nucleus)
๐ Fungal Cells:
- Have cell wall
- No chloroplast
๐ฟ Plant vs Animal Cells:
Feature | Plant Cell | Animal Cell |
Cell Wall | Present | Absent |
Vacuole | Large | Small |
Plastids | Present | Absent |
