  • Are cells alive?
No because it doesn't reproduce as other organisms do.
  • Where are cells located in your body?
Your cells are often found in your blood or more specificly in your organs.

  • Where do the cells in your body get energy from?How do they know what to do?Where do they get their directions from?
The cell gets its energy when nutritional components of  food are oxidized by the oygen of inspiration in mitochondria.The bonds break and energy is released in the process which is trapped in the energy rich compounds ATP. When the cells need energy a phosphate bond breaks and energy is released for performing particular cellular activity.
