Why Are Cells Important?
-
Building Blocks of Life
-
Every living organism is made up of cells.
-
Just like a building is made of bricks, a body is made of cells.
-
-
Perform Life Functions
-
All functions of life like breathing, digestion, growth, and reproduction happen because of cells.
-
Specialized cells perform specific tasks (e.g., nerve cells help in sending messages).
-
-
Growth and Development
-
Organisms grow by increasing the number of cells through a process called cell division.
-
New cells replace old and damaged cells.
-
-
Forming Tissues and Organs
-
Similar cells group together to form tissues.
-
Tissues combine to form organs like the heart, brain, lungs, etc.
-
-
Heredity and Reproduction
-
Cells carry genetic material (DNA) that is passed from parents to offspring.
-
Reproductive cells help in creating new individuals.
-
-
Repair and Healing
-
When you get a cut or wound, cells divide and help in healing the skin or tissue.
