A cell is the basic structural and functional unit of all living organisms. It is the smallest unit of life and is capable of carrying out all the necessary functions for survival.

In a plant cell, the organelles include: cell wall, cell membrane, nucleus. cytoplasm, chloroplasts, mitochondria, golgi apparatus, endoplasmic reticulum, vacuole, ribosome.

Cells are transparent in nature due to the composition of their cytoplasm and organelles, which allow light to pass through relatively easily.

When viewed under a microscope, cells may be stained to enhance contrast and visibility. Staining helps highlight different cell structures and organelles, making them easier to observe and study. Stains bind to specific cellular components, allowing researchers to distinguish between different types of cells and visualize cellular structures more clearly.
