Detailed explanation-1: -Cells are the smallest common denominator of life. Some cells are organisms unto themselves; others are part of multicellular organisms. All cells are made from the same major classes of organic molecules: nucleic acids, proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids.

Detailed explanation-2: -The cell is the smallest structural and functional unit of living organisms, which can exist on its own. Therefore, it is sometimes called the building block of life. Some organisms, such as bacteria or yeast, are unicellular-consisting only of a single cell-while others, for instance, mammalians, are multicellular.

Detailed explanation-3: -The cell is the smallest unit of life that can divide, multiply, grow and respond to stimuli from the environment. The cell structure is colloidal. The vital signs called life, manifest itself in this colloidal environment called protoplasm.

Detailed explanation-4: -(sel) In biology, the smallest unit that can live on its own and that makes up all living organisms and the tissues of the body. A cell has three main parts: the cell membrane, the nucleus, and the cytoplasm. The cell membrane surrounds the cell and controls the substances that go into and out of the cell.

Detailed explanation-5: -Cells are called building blocks of life because they are basic structural and functional units of our life. In the different levels of organization in an organism, the cell acts as the basic unit. This means cells form the tissues, organs and organ systems in the different organisms.
