<span>In order to survive, cells must satisfy some basic needs such as oxygen, water, nutrients, waste removal, and maintaining of homeostasis. Oxygen and nutrients are necessary for different processes inside the cell. For instance, cellular respiration uses glucose and oxygen to form energy in the form of ATP. Water is important for different chemical reactions, as well. Also, s the result of different processes, waste is produced and it is important to remove it from the cell. Finally, it is important that cell and whole body conditions do not vary so much and that homeostasis is maintained.</span>
