This document provides an overview of cell biology. It defines a cell as the smallest and basic unit of life responsible for all life processes. Cell biology is then defined as the study of cell structure and function, which are the basic units of life. The document describes the main types of cells - eukaryotic cells which contain membrane-bound organelles like the nucleus, and prokaryotes which are single-celled organisms. It also discusses the cell wall, a protective outer layer found in some cell types, and some key cell functions like movement, conductivity, metabolism and reproduction.
