ell biology is the study of cells, the fundamental units of life. It explores their structure, function, and processes, including how they grow, divide, and interact with their environment. Key topics include the differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, the role of organelles like the nucleus and mitochondria, cell division through mitosis, and transport mechanisms like diffusion and osmosis. Cell biology is essential for understanding the building blocks of all living organisms and serves as a foundation for advanced studies in biology and medicine.
