Aspects of Cells
- Homeostasis - The property of either an open system or a closed system, especially a living organism, that regulates its internal environment so as to maintain a stable, constant condition.
- Life - A condition of growth through metabolism, reproduction, and the power of adaptation to environment through changes originating internally.
- Microscopic - The scale of objects, like cells, that are too small to be seen easily by the naked eye and which require a lens or microscope to see them clearly.
- Unicellular - Organisms which are composed of only one cell.
- Multicellular - Organisms consisting of more than one cell, and having differentiated cells that perform specialized functions.
- Tissues - A collection of interconnected cells that perform a similar function within an organism.
- Cellular differentiation - A concept in developmental biology whereby less specialized cells become a more specialized cell type in multicellular organisms.

—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
