Cell biology is the study of cells including their physiological properties, their structure, the organelles they contain, interactions with their environment, their life cycle, division and death. Molecular biology is the study of biology at a molecular level, chiefly involved with the understanding of interactions between the various systems of a cell, including the interrelationship of DNA, RNA and protein synthesis and their regulation.
