Hii friend,

=> A structure is a well defined and a constructed object from several parts. A cell is a structural unit, as all the organisms are made up of cell.

=> A function is the activity that someone is capable of doing. A cell is the functional unit as it is capable of all functions such as building new cells, and synthesizing proteins.

HOPE THIS HELPS YOU :)

Heya frnd,

Cell is known as the functional and structural unit of life.

Why it is called as structural and functional unit of life?

it is called as functional unit of life because it performs all the functions necessary for living life , like providing energy,protiens,digestion,excretion, reproduction,etc( physiological and biochemical,genetic functions).

Cell is called as the structural unit of life because our body is made up of thousand but small cells.

Like cells combine to form tissues,tissues combine to form organs,organs combine to form organic system and that further combines to form an organism,so cell is the first and basic unit of life.

Cell has different organnels that perform different function,( division of labor in cells),like -

•Ribosomes synthesis protiens.
• Mitchondria provide energy to cell
•Nucleus ,brain of cell,perform reproduction related activities.
•Lysosomes helping in digestion of foreign bodies.
•Cell memberane,cell wall,golgi apparatus,cytoplasm are other organnels performing important functions.

Thus cells,are basic unit of life.

Hope it helped!!!!!
