An amoeba consists of a single blobby cell surrounded by a porous cell membrane. The amoeba "breathes" using this membrane - oxygen gas from the water passes in to the amoeba through the cell membrane and carbon dioxide gas leaves through it. A complex, jelly-like series of folded membranes called cytoplasm fills most of the cell. A large, disk-shaped nucleus within the amoeba controls the growth and reproduction of the amoeba.

It's a trick question. Cells are the basic unit of life. It's like saying how do you make a snowstorm without snowflakes? BUT, your teacher may be in the minority of people who think viruses are living things. Viruses are not cells but rather particles.

you can try Amoeba. This is the smallest living thing with only 1 cell (so no cells)

Viruses are typically considered living things and are not made up of cells.

amoeba. viruses are not considered living because they cannot reproduce.
