Topic 1 - Cell Biology
1.1 Introduction to cells
Cell Theory
Know how to use light microscopes
Magnification = Measured Length/Actual Length
Cells are the smallest units of life.
All living organisms are composed of cells.
New cells are formed by pre-existing cells.
“All cells contain hereditary information (DNA) which is passed on from cell to cell during cell division”
Exceptions to cell theory
:
Striated muscle cell
- single surrounding membrane that can contain 100s of nuclei
Fungal Cells
- Aseptate hyphae, multi-nucleated
Giant Algae
- Grow up to 1cm thick. It would be expected that they would be broken up smaller to get rid of metabolic waste more easily
