The cell is the smallest unit when you define the of cells you define the properties of life

properties ,
.




All organisms are made of one or more cells Cells are the structural and functional building
.




. Different cell types have different functions within an organism and the
blocks of an organism ,


activity of an organism depends on the activities of individual cells and of all of the cells together.

cells only arise from other cells
. Most body cells arise by mitosis ,
which we explore later in the

chapter .
