'''Cellule''' is the French term for a [[cell (biology)|cell]], the basic structural, functional, and biological unit of all known living organisms. Cells are the smallest unit of life that can replicate independently, and are often called the "building blocks of life". The study of cells is called [[cell biology]].

Cells consist of [[cytoplasm]] enclosed within a [[cell membrane]], which contains many [[biomolecule]]s such as [[protein]]s and [[nucleic acid]]s. Most plant and animal cells are visible only under a [[microscope]], with dimensions between 1 and 100 [[micrometre]]s.


== Types of cells ==
'''Cellule''' is a commune in the [[Puy-de-Dôme]] department in the [[Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes]] region of [[France]]. It is part of the administrative division known as the [[Arrondissement of Riom]]. The commune is situated in the central part of France and is known for its picturesque landscapes and historical significance.
There are two types of cells: [[prokaryote|prokaryotic]] and [[eukaryote|eukaryotic]]. Prokaryotic cells are usually singletons, while eukaryotic cells are usually found in multicellular organisms.


=== Prokaryotic cells ===
=== Geography ===
[[Prokaryote|Prokaryotic cells]] are about 10 times smaller than eukaryotic cells and are simpler in structure. They have no nucleus; instead, their genetic material is free-floating within the cell. They also lack the many membrane-bound organelles found in eukaryotic cells. Thus, the functions of these organelles are taken up by other parts of the prokaryotic cell.
Cellule is located in the heart of the [[Massif Central]], a highland region that is characterized by its volcanic mountains and plateaus. The commune is surrounded by lush greenery and is part of the [[Limagne]] plain, which is known for its fertile soil and agricultural productivity.


=== Eukaryotic cells ===
=== History ===
[[Eukaryote|Eukaryotic cells]], on the other hand, have a nucleus that contains their genetic material. They also contain other membrane-bound organelles, such as [[mitochondria]], and the [[endoplasmic reticulum]], and [[Golgi apparatus]], which further compartmentalize the cell and play specific roles in its function.
The history of Cellule dates back to ancient times, with evidence of human settlement in the area during the [[Gallo-Roman]] period. The commune has a rich cultural heritage, with several historical buildings and monuments that reflect its past.


== Cell functions ==
=== Economy ===
Cells perform a vast number of functions in an organism including protein synthesis, conversion of nutrients into energy, response to environmental changes, and reproduction.
The economy of Cellule is primarily based on agriculture, with a focus on the cultivation of crops such as wheat, corn, and sunflowers. The region is also known for its vineyards, which produce a variety of wines that are popular both locally and internationally.
