Cell, in biology, the basic membrane-bound unit that contains the fundamental molecules of life and of which all living things are composed. A single cell is often a complete organism in itself, such as a bacterium or yeast. Other cells acquire specialized functions as they mature. These cells cooperate with other specialized cells and become the building blocks of large multicellular organisms, such as humans and other animals.

Earth is home to millions of different species. Some can be very small, like bacteria and viruses, which are so small that we cannot see them with only our eyes. By contrast, the largest animal species so far found on our planet is the blue whale, which can grow up to almost 30 metres in length and weigh over 130,000 kilos. The toughest species is probably the water bear. This tiny organism can survive temperatures from 150 °C to a below freezing 272 °C. To best survive in their environment, each species has developed its own unique physical characteristics.
Each year, scientists identify around 15,000 new species. However, diversity on our planet is such, that there are still millions of species on Earth remaining to be discovered.

2. What other unusual life forms do you know of
地球是数百万不同物种的家园。 有些可能非常小,比如细菌和病毒,它们小到我们只能用眼睛看到它们。 相比之下,迄今为止在地球上发现的最大的动物物种是蓝鲸,它可以长到近30米长,体重超过13万公斤。 最顽强的物种可能是水熊。 这种微小的生物可以在150°C到零下272°C的温度下生存。 为了更好地在环境中生存,每个物种都发展出了自己独特的生理特征。
每年,科学家们都会发现大约15000个新物种。 然而,我们这个星球上的生物多样性如此之大,以至于地球上仍有数百万种物种有待发现。
