Question:
Cells consist of many organelles, yet we do not call any of these organelles as structural and functional unit of living organisms. Explain.
Solution:
The cell organelles like mitochondria, Golgi complex, ribosomes, nucleus, etc., have specific functions and carry out specific functions in a cell but
they cannot be called as the structural and functional units of living organisms.
This is because they can function only when present inside a living cell. They cannot act as independent units. The cei, on the contrary has
independent existence. It is the smallest, structural and functional unit of life.
