Introduction
Cells (Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic), Tissues, Cell Theory and the Cell Hierarchy The cell is the structural and functional unit of all known living organisms. It is the simplest unit of an organism that is classified as living, and is sometimes called the building block of life. Some organisms, such as bacteria are unicellular (consist of a single cell). Other organisms, such as humans, are multicellular. (Humans have an estimated 100 trillion cells; a typical cell size is 10 micrometers, a typical cell mass is 1 nanogram.) The largest known cell is an ostrich egg. The word cell comes from the Latin cellula, meaning a small room. The descriptive name for the smallest living biological structure was chosen by Robert Hooke in a book he published in 1665 when he compared the cork cells he saw through his microscope to the small rooms monks lived in.
Each cell is at least somewhat self-contained and
