Irina-Kira [14]

Cells are the smallest unit of life. This is true.

Cells are important to the structure and function of living things. This is true.

Cells come in different shapes and sizes. This is true, as there are cells with a variety of shape and size (round shaped cocci and the elongated and flat bacillus). There are cells from squid's nervous system, called the neurons, that are comparatively very large in size than the vast majority of the other cells.
