INTRO

The cell (from the Latin word cellula, which means "little room") is the
fundamental structural and functional unit of all life forms.
Every cell is made up of a cytoplasm surrounded by a membrane that
contains several biomolecules such as proteins and nucleic acids .[2]

Cells can learn to do certain functions and jobs within the cell, such as
replication, DNA repair, protein synthesis, and motility.
Cells can specialize and move around within the cell.
Because of their small size, most cells are measured in micrometers.
Most plant and animal cells are only visible under a light microscope,
with diameters ranging from 1 to 100 micrometres[3]. Electron
microscopy provides a far better resolution, revealing very detailed cell
structure.
Organisms are categorised as either unicellular (consisting of a single
cell, such as bacteria) or multicellular (containing plants and animals).
The number of cells in plants and animals varies by species; it has been
estimated that the human body includes 37 trillion (3.721013) cells. [5]
The brain accounts for approximately 80 billion of these cells .[6]

The study of cells and how they function has led to numerous other
studies in related fields of biology, such as the discovery of DNA, cancer
systems biology, aging, and developmental biology.
