Question

how does a living cell perform basic functions. ​

Answer 1

There is a division of labour in multicellular organisms such as human beings. This means that different parts of the body performs different functions. For eg. the human body has heart to pump the blood a stomach to digest and so on. Similarly the division of labour is also seen with a single cell. Each such cell has got certain specific components within it known as cell organelles. These organelles perform specific function for the cell.
