- All living things are made up of one or more cells.
- Cells are basic structural units of Living Organism; They are complex living structure.
- All cells are similar in their basic structure but are not identical. They differ in size, function and structure.
- New cells are formed due to division of old cells.
- The organisation of cells in the body of living organisms determines its structure.
- The way in which an organism performs function depends on the way the cell works.
