Answer:

                  (c) A cell is the basic structural and functional unit of a living being. Each cell is made up of molecules. The molecules exhibit movement during cellular reactions that lead to life activities but there movements of molecules do not take place in the cells. The growth of a living organism starts with the division of its cells. All living things have an organized structure, which if breaks down leads to various diseases, disorders and even death. Therefore, the living things have to repair and maintain their structures through various processes. These life processes require energy which is obtained from food.
