We need to understand how the cell works in order to understand how the tissue works to understand how the organism works. Hypothesis: trying to answer questions cant study cells in a person because you have millions of cells but they are all connected to other things, and its complex. In order to test the hypothesis of a cell, you must isolate the cell and grow the cell in vitro. Genetic material is the same from one cell to cell. Trying to understand the difference between nerve cells and muscle cells and other cells and what makes them different. Use cell bio to fix abnormal things, and diseases such as diabetes.
