Cell biology is the subdiscpline of biology that studies the basic unit of life, the cell. It deals with the all aspects of the cell including cell anatomy, cell division and also cel processes including cell respiration and cell death.Cell biology does not stand alone as a discpline but closely related to other areas of biology like genetics, molecular biology and biochemistry.
Aims and Objecive:
Basic understanding of biological systems, possible understanding of cell and cell process.
