Answer 1

Cells are basically the basic units of life. Organisms are made up of cells that carry out metabolic reactions in which energy is given off to the organism. Without the energy produced by the cells the organisms organs will not function as well therefore leading to a possible death for the organism. Cells have many other functions that are vital for the organism to grow as well function properly. Cells help the organism gain oxygen throughout the body therefore if no oxygen is present due to if the cells were to stop working the organism would die. Long story short cells are vital for the survival of the organism otherwise that organism would face death.

So that would be B) The respiratory system would fail, and then the entire organism would suffer.
