Cells

Cells. Such a tiny word can mean so much. A cell is the basic unit of life. Every single living organism has cells. Cells are everywhere, because they are microscopic. There are unicellular and multicellular organisms. Organisms that are unicellular, for example, are bacteria, yeasts, and amoebas. Other multicellular organisms are plants, animals, and humans.

Interesting facts that I learned from these articles are:

1) It takes millions of cells to make up the skin on the palm of your hand.

2) Animals have a skeleton because of a unique structure, the cell wall, which is why plants droop.

3) The human body has over ten trillion cells. (10,000,000,000,000)

In my opinion, I think that cells are the most important subject in science and life. Every living organism has cells, which I think, is extremely interesting. There would be no life if there weren’t any cells. Cells make everything come to life because it is the basic unit of life. If it weren’t for cells, we wouldn’t have most of the supplies we need today.
