The study of the structure, function, and behaviour of cells is known as cell biology, which is also referred to as cellular biology or cytology. Cells are the building blocks of all living things. The fundamental unit of life that is in charge of organisms existence and function is the cell. The study of cells structural and functional components is known as cell biology. The study of cell metabolism, cell communication, the cell cycle, biochemistry, and cell composition are among the many subtopics that fall under the umbrella of cell biology, which includes both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. Various methods of microscopy, cell culture and cell fractionation are used to study cells. These have made it possible to find out how cells work and they are currently being used in research that aims to understand larger organisms. In addition to being necessary for research in biomedical fields like cancer and other diseases, understanding the components of cells as well as how cells function is fundamental to all biological sciences. Genetics, molecular genetics, molecular biology, medical microbiology, immunology and cytochemistry are all connected to cell biology research.

There are two primary categories of cells: Eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells. The absence of a cell nucleus or other membrane-bound organelle distinguishes prokaryotic cells from eukaryotic cells. Prokaryotic cells include bacteria and Archaea and are the smallest form of life. Prokaryotic cells lack an enclosed cell nucleus. Protists, animals, fungi and plants all have eukaryotic cells. Their DNA is contained within a membrane-bound nucleus and their diameter ranges from 10 to 100 micrometers. Organisms with eukaryotic cells are known as eukaryotes. Animalia, Plantae, Fungi and Protista are the four eukaryotic kingdoms. Both species reproduce through binary fission. The most common type of bacteria has a variety of shapes, but the majority are spherical or rod-shaped. Depending on the composition of the cell wall, bacteria can be classified as gram-positive or gram-negative. The peptidogly can layer of gram-positive bacteria is thicker than that of gram-negative bacteria. A flagellum that facilitates cell movement, ribosomes for RNA to protein translation and a nucleoid that stores all genetic material in a circular structure are examples of bacterial structural features. Prokaryotic cells are able to survive through a variety of processes. A promoter sequence on the DNA template that consists of two consensus sequences that recruit RNA polymerase kicks off mRNA synthesis in prokaryotes. The prokaryotic polymerase is made up of a core enzyme with four subunits of proteins and a protein that only helps with the beginning. For instance, in a process known as conjugation, the fertility factor enables a bacterium to possess a pilus, which enables it to transmit DNA to another bacterium that does not possess the F factor. This enables the transmission of resistance, which enables the bacterium to survive in particular environments.
