Cell theory and discovery
Cell theory and discovery
1.1 Microscope discovery
1.1 Microscope discovery
State why microscopes are useful in the study of cell biology.
1.2 Electron vs Light microscopes
1.2 Electron vs Light microscopes
Describe the advantages and disadvantages of using a light and an electron microscope.
1.3 Calculating cell size

Use the formula: magnification = size of image / size of real object.
Cell structure & function
Cell structure & function
- Plant and animal cells (eukaryotic cells) have a cell membrane, cytoplasm, and genetic material enclosed in a nucleus.
- Bacterial cells (prokaryotic cells) are much smaller in comparison. They have cytoplasm and a cell membrane surrounded by a cell wall. The genetic material is not enclosed in a nucleus. It is a single DNA loop and may have one or more small rings of DNA called plasmids.
