Cell Structure and Function Concepts

This video tutorial introduces the basic structure and function of cells, focusing on the differences between animal and plant cells. It explains the roles of various organelles, such as the nucleus, mitochondria, and chloroplasts, and highlights unique features of animal cells. The video concludes with a review and quiz to reinforce learning.
