# The Cell **I. The Functionality of Cells in Organisms** - All living things are composed of at least one cell. - These cells perform various functions, such as reproduction or digestion. - Using an optical or electronic microscope allows observation of cells. - A single-celled organism carries out all life functions on its own. - In multicellular organisms, cells are specialized and work together. - These specialized cells adhere to one another to ensure the execution of a specific task. **A. Defining the Cell** - A cell is the fundamental unit of life. - A cell consists of cytoplasm within a cell membrane. - The cell membrane is required for the cell's function, supporting its survival in the organism. - Specialized cells within an organism ensure specific functions. **Organelles** - These organelles are components found inside the cytoplasm.
