The Cell Theory: three generalizations: 1. All organisms are composed of one or more cells. 2. The cell is the smallest unit having the properties of life. 3. The continuity of life arises directly from the growth and division of single cells. I. Basic Aspects of Cell Structure and Function. A. Structural Organization of Cells. 1. The cell is the smallest entity that still retains the characteristics of life. 2. All cells have three basic parts: a.
The smallest contiguous unit of life is called an organism. Organisms are composed of one or more cells, undergo metabolism, maintain homeostasis, can grow, respond to stimuli, reproduce (either sexually or asexually) and, through evolution, adapt to their environment in successive generations.eath is the permanent termination of all vital functions or life processes in an organism or cell. It can occur as a result of an accident, medical conditions, biological interaction, malnutrition, poisoning, senescence, or suicide. After death, the remains of an organism re-enter the biogeochemical cycle.
