cells are the structural and functional unit of life and the smallest entity of living beings as they are specialized in eukaryote to do special functions and which combine to form tissue and then organ which finally make organism. so cells are smaller unit of life.

Cells are small because if they were bigger it would take to long for nutrients, such as sodium and potassium, to get to the center of the cell. It would also take to long to remove the waste.

Cells are the biological 'building blocks'. They are small, but the way they are arranged is what makes the organism.

Any organism could be made up of any number of cells, differently sized and arranged for different purposes. Cells are only as big as their function requires them to be.
