Cells consist of many organelles yet we do not call any of these organisms as structural and functional unit of living organisms. Explain.

All organelles are the living parts of the cell. They are internal structures within a cell. They have the same status in a cell as the organs have in an organism. The organelle like the organs in our body perform varies functions within a cell. They all work together and so the cell remains alive.

Every organelle within a cell has its own function. They all are equally important.

Every organ of our body and every part of an organism is made up of hundreds and thousands of cells. A cell, therefore, is the basic structural and functional units of all living beings.

Organelles are little compartments within the larger cells. We can think of organelles as smaller rooms within the factory, with specialized conditions to help these rooms carry out their specific task (like a break room stocked with goodies or a research room with cool gadgets and a special air filter). These organelles are found in the cytoplasm, a viscous liquid found within the cell membrane that houses the organelles and is the location of most of the action happening in a cell.

Functions of all the organelles are inter-linked to each other and ultimately to the working of the cell. So, if even a single link is missing, the cell ultimately suffers and dies. Hence, these organelles help in proper functioning of the cell. Therefore, a particular organelle cannot be said as the structural or functional unit of life. It's a team work. So, it's better to tell a cell.
