Life itself builds upon biological molecules: Carbohydrates, proteins and lipids (fats).
Cells are the basic unit of all lifeforms. There are many different types of cells with many different functions.
Cells are made up of many different structures with very specific functions.
The nature of cell membranes and transport processes allow the cell to control the movement of substances in and out, for life to function.

Respiration inside cells is a chemical reaction that occur all the time to transfer energy from nutrients into Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP).
Microscopes have allowed us to magnify the view of very small cell structures that we otherwise would not be able to see.
