Definition

A cell is defined as the smallest, basic unit of life that is responsible for all of life’s processes. Cells are the structural, functional, and biological units of all living beings. A cell can replicate itself independently. Hence, they are known as the building blocks of life.

Functional unit of life

The cell is called the structural and functional unit of life as all living organisms are made up of cells.Cells are also essential for performing various life processes required for sustaining life.Furthermore, cells provide form and structure, process nutrients and convert it into use able energy.Multicellular organisms have specialized cells that perform specific functions.Due to above-mentioned reasons cell is called a functional unit of life.
