According to some scientists life was transported to our earth from other planets. The popular scientific belief that life is the outcome of a gigantic mission which took hundreds of million years to aggregate organic molecules that gave birth to the first cells that appeared on the planet nearly 3,500 million years ago. Cells coordinated themselves into community of cells like plants, animals and men. Several men have coordinated themselves into communities like societies and nations. The basic unit of life in all the living organisms from bacteria to whale, from tiny algae to tall tree is cell. It is roughly estimated that there are 60 trillion cells in human body.
