A living cell goes through many processes that keep it alive. In order to perform basic functions it goes through processes such as converting fuel into usable energy. Cells also divide in order to keep living and keep the creature they are making up alive. Without cell division we would not be able to live.

Why do organisms cellular respiration?

Cellular respiration is one of the processes that cells perform. Organisms do not perform this process. Instead they perform respiration. Cells use cellular respiration to obtain one of the three sources needed for them to live- oxygen. Without this process, cells would not be able to perform other functions.

How data processing cycle work?

The instructions of a program generally direct the computer to perform three basic functions over and over again. These functions are input, processing and output. Collectively, these functions operate the data processing cycle.


Are animal cells three dimensional?

Yes, animal cells are three-dimensional structures. They have width, height, and depth, with various organelles and structures distributed throughout the cytoplasm. The three-dimensional nature of animal cells allows them to perform complex functions necessary for the organism's survival.

Do all cells perform all functions?

Heck no! The simplest human cells are stem cells from which other types of cells may form. Cells have many diverse functions, blood is one example. There are three general types of cells in blood, red cells (erythrocytes), platelets and white cells (lymphocytes). There are 5 major subclasses of lymphocytes, each with particular functions mostly to do with immunity. Red cells carry oxygen and platelets stick together to plug injured blood vessels. Other major categories include muscle cells (two major types - smooth and striated), nerve cells, and skin cells. Many organs have specific types of cells that are unique to that organ's function, including reproductive systems. Move outside the human body and you will see creatures that are only one cell in size which means they must perform all the basic functions for life. Truly amazing.

Are cells 3 dimensional?

Yes, cells are three-dimensional structures that have length, width, and depth. They are not flat entities but rather have a three-dimensional shape that allows them to carry out their various functions.
