Cell Structure and Function Concepts

This video tutorial introduces the basic components of animal and plant cells, focusing on the nucleus, cell membrane, and mitochondria. It explains the nucleus's role in controlling cell functions, the mitochondria's role in energy production, and the cell membrane's protective functions. The video also highlights unique features of plant cells, such as the cell wall and chloroplasts, which aid in photosynthesis.
