The Cell Theory
All organisms are composed of one or more cells.
Cell Discovery and Theory
Cellular Structure and Function
The cell is the basic unit of structure and organization of organisms.
Section 1
All cells come from preexisting cells.
Cellular Structure and Function
Light Microscopes
Utilizes a series of glass lenses and visible light to magnify an image
Magnifies images up to 1,000 times the actual size
