Identify the characteristics of a cell. check all that apply. measures 3-500 micrometers infects all forms of living cells grows and reproduces responds to stimuli contains dna or rna, not both contains a cell membrane

A cell is defined as the structural and functional unit of an organism.

The average size of the prokaryotic cell lies between 0.1 to 10 micrometers whereas the average size of the eukaryotic cell is approximately 25 micrometers.

Four things are found in all the cells: genetic material (either DNA or RNA), cell membrane, cytoplasm, and the ribosome.

All the living cells grow and reproduce (sexually or asexually) and have the ability to respond to stimuli.

Thus, characteristics of a cell may include: cell grows and reproduces, responds to stimuli, contains DNA or RNA, not both , and contains a cell membrane.
