Cell Theory
1) Every organism is composed of one or
more cells2) Cell is smallest unit having properties
of life
3) Continuity of life arises from growth
and division of single cells

� Smallest unit of life
� Can survive on its own or has potentialto do so
� Is highly organized for metabolism
� Senses and responds to environment
� Has potential to reproduce

Structure of CellsAll start out life with:
± Plasma membrane
± Region where DNA
is stored
± Cytoplasm
Two types:
± Prokaryotic
± Eukaryotic

Why Are Cells So Small?
� Surface-to-volume ratio
� The bigger a cell is, the less surface
area there is per unit volume
�Above a certain size, material cannot bemoved in or out of cell fast enough

� Create detailed images of something
that is otherwise too small to see� Light microscopes
± Simple or compound
� Electron microscopes
± Transmission EM or Scanning EM
Microscopes

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/4cell-structure 11/42
Limitations of Light
Microscopy� Wavelengths of light are 400-750 nm
� If a structure is less than one-half of a
wavelength long, it will not be visible
� Light microscopes can resolve objects
down to about 200 nm in size

ElectronM
icroscopy� Uses streams of accelerated electrons
rather than light
� Electrons are focused by magnets
rather than glass lenses
� Can resolve structures down to 0.5 nm
