Cell is the basic unit of life. Discuss in brief.
(N/A) Cells are the fundamental structural and functional units of all living organisms.
They are capable of performing all essential biochemical processes required for survival,such as respiration,digestion,and excretion.
Since all metabolic activities occur within the cell to maintain life,the cell is considered the functional unit of life.
Furthermore,because all organisms are composed of one or more cells,it is also defined as the structural unit of life.
