All cells are alive. They are the smallest known form of life. They live, breathe, reproduce, eat and die. Some organisms, like bacteria or some viruses, consist of only one cell and are reffered to as being uni-cellular. Other organisms, including everything from amoebas to whales, are called multi-cellular.

Cells are the building blocks of an organism. Some parts of a creatures anatomy, such as hair, teeth, or nails, are not specifically made of living cells, but rather organic compounds or proteins. Skin, blood, bone tissue, etc., are made of living cells.
