komórkowy

The Polish word "komórkowy" translates to "cellular" in English. It is an adjective derived from the noun "komórka," meaning "cell." The term "komórkowy" is used in a variety of contexts, most notably in biology and telecommunications.

In biology, "komórkowy" refers to anything related to cells, the fundamental units of life. For instance, "oddychanie komórkowe" is cellular respiration, and "błona komórkowa" is the cell membrane. It describes processes, structures, or phenomena that occur within or are characteristic of cells.

In telecommunications, "komórkowy" is most commonly associated with mobile phones, often referred to as "telefon komórkowy" or simply "komórka." This usage derives from the cellular network infrastructure, where a geographical area is divided into cells, each served by a base station. Therefore, "sieć komórkowa" means cellular network, and "usługi komórkowe" are cellular services. The adjective highlights the technology that enables mobile communication.
