    Study Notes

    Cell Biology Fundamentals

    • The basic unit of life is the cell, which is essential for the living and functioning of all organisms.
    • Cells perform vital functions, including metabolism, energy production, and reproduction.

    Microscopy Techniques

    • Light microscopy is commonly used for observing cells, providing magnified images using visible light.
    • Electron microscopy, which includes transmission and scanning techniques, allows for ultra-high resolution imaging of cell structures.

    Cell Structural and Functional Units

    • The study of the structural and functional units of cells is known as Cell Biology or Cytology.
    • This field explores cellular mechanisms, organelles, and interactions within and between cells.

    Importance of Cell Biology

    • Cell Biology is fundamental to all biological sciences, laying the groundwork for understanding life processes.
    • It is crucial in biomedical research, driving advancements in health and medicine.

    Cell Types

    • Prokaryotic cells are unicellular organisms that lack a nucleus, such as bacteria and archaea.
    • Eukaryotic cells are more complex, containing a nucleus and organelles, and can be found in organisms like plants, animals, and fungi.
