Document Summary

Cells are microscopic, enabling adequate absorption of oxygen, water, and nutrients through the cell"s surface to meet the needs of internal regions. Light microscopes bend light to produce magnified images. Electron microscopes focus electrons with magnetic lenses to produce images. The transmission electron microscope passes electrons through a specimen to produce television images. The scanning electron microscope bounces electrons off a specimen to yield a 3-d image. Eukaryotic cells evolved from prokaryotic cells and are generally larger and more complex, with an enclosed nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles. Most known prokaryotes are bacteria, which are single-celled organisms. Eukaryotes can be single-celled but most are multicellular, cellular functions are handled by organelles. Endosymbiotic theory states that some organelles evolved as a result of prokaryotic cells ingesting other prokaryotic cells. Protoplast is the interior of the cell (everything inside the cell wall), which consists of the nucleus and the cytoplasm.
