Cells

  1. Cells are the smallest building block in any living organism.
  2. Cells have the ability to maintain a steady metabolic rate.
  3. They may either build complex compounds from simpler ones (anabolism) or deconstruct complex molecules (catabolism).
  4. Cells expand their size and as a result, they multiply by splitting into two daughter cells.
  5. The cell organelles can perform a variety of roles that aid in the cell's survival.
  6. They have the ability to detect and respond to changes in their surroundings.
  7. Thus, cells are considered living.
