Cell is the fundamental structural and functional unit of all living organisms. This statement can be best justified by the fact that:

1. The cells contain nucleic acids that contain genetic information
2. A large number of organelles present in the cell perform various functions
3. Anything less than a complete structure of a cell does not ensure independent living
4. All multi-cellular organisms begin their life as a single celled zygote
