  • Cells are the basic units of life capable of doing all the required biochemical processes that a normal cell has to do in order to live. 
  • The basic needs for the survival of all living organisms are the same. All living organisms need to respire, digest food for obtaining energy, and get rid of metabolic wastes.
  •  Cells are capable of performing all the metabolic functions of the body. Hence, cells are called as the functional units of life.
