Solution

  • The cell is the basic structural, functional and biological unit of all known living organisms. Cells are often called the "building blocks of life".
  • Within the tiny cells, several organelles, including the genetic material DNA, are constantly working to keep the organism alive.

  • Cell structure is the total type and arrangement of components in a cell that varies depending on species and specialised function.
  • Cell structure is a complex system of metabolic reaction pathways, protein synthesis and a membrane that protects and wraps it. The primary structures of the cell are nucleus, ER, Mitochondria, Golgi bodies, Ribosomes etc.
