Cell and molecular biology is a fundamental discipline that explores the intricate mechanisms governing cellular structure, function, and genetic regulation. This book provides a comprehensive overview of the core principles of cell biology, covering topics such as cell theory, cellular diversity, organelles, and the molecular processes that sustain life.The book delves into the structural and functional differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, the significance of cellular membranes, and the dynamic interactions that drive cellular communication. It further explores essential molecular processes, including DNA replication, transcription, and translation, which collectively determine gene expression and protein synthesis. Additionally, regulatory mechanisms such as epigenetics, cell cycle control, and apoptosis are examined to highlight their roles in maintaining cellular homeostasis and preventing diseases like cancer.
