Cells: The Building Blocks of Life

Abstract

Cells are the fundamental building block for living organisms. Cells are small, membrane bound units that contain concentrated liquid solution of chemicals. What makes cells even more special and is that they have the amazing ability to replicate themselves and divide into two. Some organisms are just a single cell while others, like humans, are communities of cells that have been specialized to perform different functions. In this paper, we are going to be talking about why cells are the building blocks of life, how cells came to be ubiquitous on earth, and the fundamentals of the cell as far as what they are composed of,  how the divide, specialize and also function.
