Summary Introduction
To determine: The comparison between the term “matrix” used in reference to an organelle or to tissue.
Introduction: Cells are the building blocks of life. Every cell contains cell organelles which are important for the functioning of the cell. Each organelle performs a different function and has its own importance in the cell. Multiple cells which have similar structure and functions combine together to form tissue.
