Brief introduction of Chapter 8 Cell The Unit of Life

Cell biology is the branch of biological science that deals with the study of the structure and function of cells.

The word cell is derived from the Latin word Cellular  which means ‘little room’

Robert Hook is known as the father of cell biology. He is credited with the discovery of cells from cork.

Understanding the cell physiology and structure is the backbone of entire biology.

The cell is the basis of all the life forms on earth. In this chapter, we will also study cell theory. It is the cell theory that emphasised the unity underlying this diversity of forms, i.e., the cellular organisation of all life forms.

Cell theory also created a sense of mystery around living phenomena, i.e., physiological and behavioural processes. This mystery was the requirement of the integrity of cellular organisation for living phenomena to be demonstrated or observed.

This chapter will give us detailed insight into different components of cells such as cytoplasm, cell organelles, chromosomes etc.
