Cell is the fundamental structural and functional unit of all living organisms because:

(1) Anything less than a complete structure of a cell does not ensure independant living.

(2) The metabolic reactions can only occur inside a living cell.

(3) Nucleic acids present in the cells ensure living state.

(4) The membrane bound organelles cause differentiation for proper functioning.
