A single grain of rice contains thousands of cells.
While it's impossible to give an exact number due to variations in rice grain size and type, scientific literature indicates a substantial cellular structure. Each of these thousands of cells in rice plays a vital role in its biological composition. For example, each cell contains genetic information organized into chromosomes. Rice has 12 chromosomes per cell. Within those chromosomes are genes, and rice's smallest chromosome (No. 10) contains approximately 3,500 genes.
The study of these cells helps in understanding the genetic makeup and characteristics of rice, leading to improvements in rice cultivation and nutritional value.
