Cells are the basic unit of all living organisms. Microscopic organisms like bacteria are single-celled prokaryotes, while macroscopic organisms like humans are multicellular eukaryotes made of many coordinated cells. All cells contain DNA and can replicate it before cell division, allowing each new daughter cell to contain a copy of the original DNA. The functions of organisms and their parts are carried out by the cells that make them up.

Robert Hooke was an English natural philosopher, architect and polymath.
1. All organisms, whether microscopic or macroscopic, are made up of cells.
2. The coordinated parts & function of organisms are composed and done by cells. 3. Cells divide and form many cells.
1. Cells are responsible for the conversion of monomer molecules to
form life energy ATP. 2. A. Microscopic organisms like bacteria, protozoa, and the like are made up of only one cell. They are, therefore, made up of prokaryotic cells. An organism made of prokaryotic cells is a prokaryote or a prokaryotic organism. B. Macroscopic organisms like humans, jellyfishes, frogs, plants, and the like are made up of two or more coordinated cells. They are, therefore, made of eukaryotic cells. An organism made of eukaryotic cells is a eukaryote or a eukaryotic organism. 3. DNA, which is found in the nucleus of cells, can undergo replication prior to cell division. After division, each resulting daughter cells will have a copy of the original DNA carried by the parent cell. 4. Species of organisms are different from one another, but organisms in a species share the same chemical composition their cells have. 5. The function done by a part of an organism is the same with the function done by the cells of that part.
