Boardworks GCSE Additional Science: Biology Animal and Plant Cells What is a cell? Boardworks GCSE Additional Science: Biology Animal and Plant Cells A cell is the basic unit of life, from which larger structures such as tissue and organs are made. Unicellular organisms, such as bacteria, consist of just a single cell. Multicellular organisms consists of many cells – humans are made from an estimated 50 trillion cells!

Pleurosigma angulatum belong to a group of phytoplankton called diatoms, which are often unicellular. Teacher notes There is considerable uncertainty about the number of cells in a human body. Estimates vary from 10 trillion to 100 trillion cells.
