Question

Why is a cell called the basic unit of life ?

Answer 1

Dear Student,

Molecule is non- living structures that are responsible for assembling in various ways to create the parts of cells. Molecules cannot function independently whereas when they combine they give rise to a functional unit called cell. This is the reason why cell is called a functional unit of life.

Hope this makes you understand,why cell is called the structural and functional unit of life.
