Obviously, living bodies are very vulnerable. They consist of naked, delicate, supple cells that do not have significant protection against very many environmental factors. In particular, both low and high temperatures are destructive for them, the absence of food and water is deadly, pressure drops are destructive, radiation is harmful, mechanical effects are detrimental, the effect of toxins is murderous. But it was in such geophysical conditions that life on Earth arose. Moreover, the natural environment on the ground is constantly changing, and from time to time - catastrophically, killing everything around. How could the cell arise, survive and survive in such circumstances? What made her alive and what virtues of the cell contribute to this? Thanks to what it has existed for four billion years? What is the basis of the permanence of cellular life?
The book in an accessible form provides scientific ideas about the principles of a stable organization, stable functioning and resistance of cells. The main physicochemical and biological properties of cells are considered, as well as the main cellular processes and mechanisms that underlie their existence. Features of the organization of the genome, cytoplasm and metabolism, their role in the constant maintenance of life are noted. The surface apparatus, cell membranes, as well as transport of substances, as tools for protection and interaction with the external environment, are described. The foundations of reproduction as a strategic mechanism of survival and permanent cells and life phenomena are considered. The determining role of the genome and genetic information in the life of cells and living bodies is shown. The main points of the origin and development of cellular life are noted. The general principles of the existence and survival of cells are comprehended.
Some biological phenomena are considered from non -standard points of view, philosophical generalizations are held, new concepts and hypotheses are expressed.
The book presents materials that will be interesting to each reader, and are also useful in studying the course Cell Biology for students, graduate students and teachers of biological and medical specialties
