<div><p><em>Cell biology</em>explores the fascinating and diverse world of cells, from single-celled micro-organisms to the specialised cells that form complex tissues in plants and animals. It develops the key aspects of cell and molecular biology introduced in<em>Questions in Science</em>(S111),<em>Science: concepts and practice</em>(S112) and<em>Science and health: an evidence-based approach</em>(SDK100). It explores the origins of cells and the generation of cell diversity, as well as the common features of cellular structure and function ? how they obtain energy, synthesise new molecules, communicate, proliferate and survive. There is an emphasis on the fundamental importance of cell biology in modern science, particularly in relation to cell technologies and health.</p></div>
