What is the cellular basis of life?

Answer 1

A cell is defined as a structural and functional unit of an organism because it is the smallest thing that has the attributes we consider important for life.

The only smaller construction which could perhaps be considered "alive" would be a virus. However, this is controversial, since there is no universally agreed definition of what it means for something to be alive.

Answer 2

Life happens due to a vast number of bio-chemical reactions {each one individually controlled by its own unique Enzyme} that all combine to form the set of processes known as Biochemistry.

Yet it goes beyond this: Nuclear chemistry to Chemistry, Chemistry to Organic chemistry, Organic chemistry to Biochemistry, Biochemistry to Molecular Genetics and Cells, Cells and Eons to Histology (Cells into Tissues), Histology developed into Biology, and eventually ended up with botany and zoology (Tissues into Organisms).

Carbon is the principle basis of life, because its ability to bond with other elements. Only one other element, silicon has this ability and we may find life on other planets, that are silicon-based, not carbon-based. Hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen are the other three major elements, that are the chemical basis of Life.

Answer 3

The cellular basis of life is the idea that all living organisms are composed of cells, which are the basic building blocks of life. Cells carry out essential functions such as metabolism, reproduction, and responding to stimuli. The cell theory states that all living things are made up of one or more cells, cells are the basic unit of structure and function in living organisms, and all cells come from pre-existing cells.

Answer 4

It deals with specialized cells in your body used for different functions.

Answer 5

This chemical basis is found under the heading Bio-Chemistry.

Answer 6

nitrogen?
