Question

Do you think a cell can be called an organism? Justify

Answer 1

In living organisms, all of their organs and tissues are made up of cells. However, in unicellular organisms like Amoeba, the entire organism is made up of only one cell. This single cell is capable of undergoing all the necessary functions or processes that are required for survival like digestion, respiration, excretion, reproduction, etc. Hence, in such cases, a single cell is considered an organism in itself
