Cell biology (cytology) is a branch of biology concerned with the study of the cell including it’s physical properties and how it relates to it’s environment.

Humans are Hardwired to be Social Beings


Are Humans Hardwired to be Social Beings?

Humans are hardwired to be social beings. We naturally cooperate, care, and compete. From quarks, to cells, to plants, to animals, cooperation is in our DNA.

All Cells In a Human Start as One Cell


All the cells in a human body start as one cell, a fertilized egg containing 1/2 the mothers DNA and 1/2 the fathers. That cell divides many times creating a unique human being.

All Cells in a Human Body Have the Same DNA


All Cells in a Human Body Have the Same DNA

With few exceptions, all cells in a person’s body have the same DNA and genes. As cells divide and grow different genes are expressed, resulting in different cell types.

Humans Have Many Different Types of Cells


The human body has about 37 trillion cells, comprising 200 different types. Each cell has structures responsible for making hundreds of thousands of different proteins from 20 types of amino acids.

We Know How Complex Cells Evolved


We know how complex cells evolved.

Complex cells (eukaryotes) likely evolved from single-celled organisms (prokaryotes) absorbing other prokaryotes, becoming single complex cells over time (endosymbiosis).
