We know that...
* cells are the building blocks of life, making up all living things
* both plants and animals are made of cells
* an adult human has about 100,000,000,000,000 (100 trillion) cells
* an average 3rd grade has about 10,000,000,000,000 (10 trillion) cells
* some creatures have only one cell
* some creatures have many cells

Here are some cool links to organisms (living things) that have only one cell and can meet their needs with just that one cell!
