(this question is not releted to this ch but is similar to living and nonliving things) CELLS ARE MADE UP OF MOLECULES . WHY THEN DO V SAY THAT THE STRUCTURAL UNIT OF A LIVING THING IS A CEELL,AND NOT A MOLECULE
Dear Student,
Molecule is a non- living structure, but they are responsible for assembling in various ways to create the parts of cells. Molecules cannot function independntly 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 and not molecules.
