Solution

Cells:

  1. The cell is life's structural and functional unit. It has several organelles that may conduct a variety of activities.
  2. The collective activity of the organelles aids in the performance of processes like respiration, nourishment, excretion, circulation, and so on.

Cell damage:

  1. A cell can be damaged by a variety of external and internal environmental factors.
  2. Cell death happens when an injury is so severe that the cell is unable to heal itself.
  3. Physical, chemical, biological, environmental, and nutritional factors can all have negative impacts on cells.
  4. Cell damage can be caused by physical factors such as radiation, thermal shock, and electric shock.
  5. Cell damage can be caused by chemical agents such as strong acids, a lack of oxygen, other hazardous gases, and chemical poisons such as cyanide.
  6. As a result, if the cell is damaged by any chemical or physical force, vital activities such as breathing, feeding, excretion, circulation, and so on would be impeded.
