The minimal essential functions of cellular life include the ability to synthesize proteins, store genetic material, maintain a barrier to the outside environment, and utilize energy.

Although other cellular structures may be beneficial or even necessary for more complex organisms, a cell can still survive without a cell wall, mitochondria, or a nucleus.
