Question

Study of cells in all aspects is
(a)Cytotaxonomy
(b)Cytology
(c)Cell Biology
(d)Cytochemistry

Answer 1

Hint: The study of cells deals with cell types, cell division as well as its function. The major areas of concern for this subject are to identify how the various molecules are utilized by the cells to survive, reproduce, and perform various functions.

Complete answer:
The study of various structures and functions of a cell is called cell biology which is also known as cytology.
-The cells were first observed after the discovery of the compound microscopy.
-Robert hooke invented the cells after observing the bark of the tree. Since he observed only the dead cells, he couldn’t identify the cell components.
-Later the cells were observed and the cell compounds and its function has been elucidated. This is when the subject called ‘Cell Biology’ originated.
-The cell theory states that all living organisms are made up of basic units of life called cells.
Cell biology deals with various topics such as:
Cell types: The two main cell types are prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. It deals with the study of the structure and the function of both these types of cells.
Cell signaling: It involves the study of how a cell interacts with the other cell.
Biochemistry: It deals with the chemical process that is involved in various living organisms.
Cell metabolism: Cell metabolism involves the study of how food products get metabolized in our body to provide energy.
The cells are studied extensively by a technique known as cell culture. The cell culture technique involves the growth of cells in a laboratory by providing the cells with natural conditions. The behavior of each cell to various stimuli, drugs will then be analyzed.
So, the correct answer is ‘Cell biology’.

Note: The present cell study is performed by utilizing various high throughput technologies such as fluorescent microscopy, flow cytometry, confocal microscopy, phase-contrast microscopy,
transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, cell culture, cell fractionation.
