Question

identify the smallest subunits of life that can also sometimes be considered living organisms on their own.
phospholipids
dna molecules
cells
inorganic molecules
proteins

Explanation:

Cells are the basic structural and functional units of life. Unicellular organisms (e.g., bacteria, yeast) consist of a single cell that can carry out all life processes independently, making them living organisms on their own. Molecules like phospholipids, DNA, inorganic molecules, and proteins are non-living components of cells but cannot function as independent living organisms.

Answer:

cells
