GeneralClass 12AllAnswered 27 Mar 2026
Answer
A cell is the smallest structural and functional unit of life that can perform all essential life processes independently. It consists of a membrane-bound structure containing cytoplasm and genetic material. Cells can exist as single-celled organisms (like bacteria and amoeba) or combine to form complex multicellular organisms (like plants and animals). Every living organism is composed of one or more cells, making them the fundamental building blocks of all life forms.
