A cell is the basic unit of life. There are two uniquely formed and often studied cell types. They both have a defined nucleus, cell membrane, and are protected by cytoplasm. Plant cell walls are designed for the process of photosynthesis. Plant cells chloroplasts, a large vacuole, and a thick cell wall. Animal cells lack a cell wall and chloroplasts.
