Cell biology

Cell biology, also known as cytology, is the study of the smallest independent units of life and living things. The subject includes their structure, metabolism, and behavior.

   

Cell types

These include, principally, prokaryotic and eukaryotic types. Viruses and Rickettsias may also be included.

Cell behavior

This includes nutrient exchange, metabolism, motion, growth, reproduction, and death.

Cell anatomy

This includes walls and environments, plasma membrane, organelles, cytoskeleton, ribosomes, and nuclear material.


History

The history of cell biology is almost entirely modern. The 16th century and 17th century can be described. The 18th century including the early 18th century, early mid 18th century, mid 18th century, late mid 18th century, and late 18th century can be connected. The 19th century including the early 19th century, early mid 19th century, mid 19th century, late mid 19th century, and late 19th century can be connected.

The 20th century including the early 20th century, early mid 20th century, mid 20th century, and late mid 20th century can be connected. The late 20th century including the early 1980s, late 1980s, early 1990s, and late 1990s can be connected. The early 21st century including the early 2000s and late 2000s can be connected. The early 2010s including 2011 and 2010 can be connected. These studies have great future potential.

Sociology

Peoples of the world including Asiatic peoples and African peoples will be important. Particular nations such as China, India, Indonesia, Brazil, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Russia can be connected. Western Civilization including the United States can be connected. American Indian peoples such as those found in the United States have had less direct influence.

Communities such as Tokyo, Seoul, New York City, and Mexico City can be connected. Social structure and change including social change, social types, and social structure can be connected.

Institutions including families, education, economics, and government are also useful. Religion including particular religious, religious organization, religious practice, and religious belief can be connected.

Culture including material culture, conceptual culture, and behavioral culture will be included as this area develops.

Anthropology including social foundations, demography, physical anthropology, human ecology, human geography, and particular groups may also be useful. Personal studies including the human body, psychology, and biography will be useful to cell biology.

Biohistory during the Precambrian, Paleozoic, Mesozoic, and Cenozoic eras may also be useful.Ecology including behavioral ecology, population ecology, community ecology, system ecology, evolution, ecosystems, and biogeography may also be useful and suggest applications. Systematics suggests varieties of cells from microbes, protists, plants, fungi, and animals. Organism biology including habitat, tissues and organ systems, form, life cycle, and behavior will suggest applications and useful analogies. Studies of cell biology depend heavily on molecular biology including inorganics, small organics, carbohydrates, lipids, proteins , and nucleic acids.

Earth science including geology, hydrospheric science, atmospherie science, physical geography, and geohistory The connection wih Astronomy is lagely rather speculatice, and cosmology, galactic astronomy, stellar astronomy, and solar system astronomy are only weakly connected. Chemistry including substances, changes, and chemical systems will be connected. Other sciences of physics including mechanics, thermodynamics, electromagnetism, relativity, quantum physics, and the structure of matter will be significant.
