      I guess the best way to think of it is, if one of your organs was like a house, then the cells would be like the bricks.

      Some cells are a bit cleverer than bricks though and they can do jobs as well. So in your house made of brick-cells, there might be a washing machine-cell as well, which cleans things that goes through it.

      Cells are do everything organic stuff is made up of… they build the organs and they do all the work too.
