Cells are the basic functional units in organisms. There are multicellular organisms, organisms who contain many cells. There are also unicellular organisms, organisms contained only one cell. An example of a multicellular organism is a human. An example of a unicellular organism is Amoeba.
There are two types of cells: prokaryotic and eukaryotic. Prokaryotic cells are more smaller than eukaryotic cells and lacking of a nucleus and other organelles of eukaryotes. There are two types of prokaryotes that share similar structures: bacteria and archaea. Eukaryotic cells are way larger and complex than prokaryotic cells. A big difference between them is that eukaryotic cells contain membrane-bound compartments. Examples of complex organisms that are eukaryotes are animals, plants and fungi. The cell divison is different from prokaryotes since prokaryotes don't contain a nucleus. Cells are the building blocks of life.
