cells perform general functions such as..
- maintain integrity and shape of a cell
- obtain nutrients and form chemical building blocks
- dispose of wastes
maintain integrity and shape of cell
dependent on plasma membrane and internal contents
obtain nutrients and form chemical building blocks
harvests energy for survival
disposes of wastes
avoid accumulation that could disrupt cellular activities
some cells are also capable of cell division by..
making more cells of same type
helping maintain tissue by providing cells for new growth and replacing dead cells
