"Cell is the fundamental structural and functional unit of all living organisms". Amoeba is capable of independent existence and also performing the essential functions of life. Cells are the life-supporting chambers which have such a special environment. A living cell keeps its chemical composition steady within its boundary. This condition is known as Homeostasis.
CELL BIOLOGY
The biological science which deals with the study of structure, function, molecular organization, growth, reproduction and genetics of the cells, is called cytology or cell biology.
A cell biologists generally describe fundamental processes common to all cells.
Cell biology has been studied by the following three avenues:
Classical cytology – dealt with only the light microscopically visible structure of the cell.
Cell physiology – studied biochemistry, biophysics, and functions of the cell.
Cell biology – interpreted the cell in terms of molecules (macromolecules such as nucleic acids and proteins).
Further growth and development of cell biology are intimately associated with the development of optical lenses and their combination are called compound microscopes (Gr. mikros = small; skopein = to see).
