Document Summary

4. 1 microscopes reveal the world of the cell. Light passes through thin slice of a specimen and then through a glass lense lens bends light to magnify specimen. Resolution- clarity of an image; ability to distinguish 2 objects as separate. Used lm to develop the cell theory - all living things composed of cells and all cells come from cells. Electron beam excites electrons on the surface. Specimen stained with atoms of heavy metals which attach to some structures more than others. 4. 2 the small size of cells relates to the need to exchange materials across the membrane. Large cells have more sa but they have a smaller surface area relative to their volume. Phospholipids form 2 layer sheet called phospholipid bilayer. Regulate flow of material in and out of cell. Nonpolar molecules like 02 and co2 move easily across.
