Some animals can adapted to the color were they are.

Cell: The basic unit of all living things.

 A characteristic of living things is to have cells. 

Cell membrane: The cell part that gives the cell shape and holds the cytoplasm.

If cells doesn't have cell membrane then it will not have shape.

Cellular respiration: The process by which food is broken down and energy is released.

 

By cellular respiration we have energy.

Cell Wall: The thick, outer covering outsider the cell membrane.
