Who came up with this theory?
1. Schleiden (circa 1838)All plants are made of cells!
Onion skin cells
How big are cells?
• Microscopic (mostly)
• Measured in microns µm
• (micrometers).
• A µm is one millionth of a meter =
• 10-9 m = one thousandth of 1 mm.
How big are cells?
• Largest cell with a metabolism =
Chaos chaos
Size=1-5 mm in length.
common name =
Giant Amoeba
Chaos diffluens, is an amoeba closely related to the giant amoebae
Types of Microscopes
1. Compound light microscope
– Light passes through lenses to magnify image up to 1000X
– Can observe living cells
Types of Microscopes
2. Electron microscope
– Uses a beam of electrons to magnify image
> 1000X– Kills cells being
observed
Common features of all cells
Small size – allows materials to move via diffusion
• Diffusion = process by which molecules move from levels of high concentration to levels of low concentration until equilibrium is reached
Diffusion

Common features of all cells
1. Cell Membrane – selectively/differentially permeable (lets some things in and out)
Common features of all cells
4. Cytoskeleton – proteins that support the cell
(Microtubules &
microfilaments)
If Cells could be really big ……
