Measuring Cell Structures
Measurements taken by scientists are expressed in metric units.
The official name of the metric system is the International System
of Measurements, abbreviated SI. The table below summarizes the
SI units used to measure length.

• Magnification is the quality of making an image
appear larger than its actual size.
• Resolution is a measure of the clarity of an image.
Both high magnification and good resolution are needed
to view the details of extremely small objects clearly.

Electron Microscopes
• Electron microscopes form an image of a
specimen using a beam of electrons rather than
light.
• The electron beam and specimen must be in a
vacuum so that the electron beam will not bounce
off of gas molecules.
• Live organisms cannot be viewed with an electron
microscope.

Types of Microscopes, continued
Transmission Electron Microscope
• An electron beam is directed at a very thin slice of a
specimen stained with metal ions. Some structures
become more heavily stained than others.
• The heavily stained parts absorb electrons, those that
are lightly stained allow electrons to pass through.
• The electrons that pass through strike a fluorescent
screen, forming an image.

Scanning Electron Microscope
• An electron beam is focused on a specimen coated
with a very thin layer of metal.
• The electrons that bounce off the specimen form an
image on a fluorescent screen.
• The image shows three-dimensional details of the
surface of a specimen.

Scanning Tunneling Microscope
• A needle-like probe measures differences in voltage
caused by electrons that leak, or tunnel, from the
surface of the object being viewed.
• A computer tracks the movement of the probe across
the surface of the object.
• The image shows three-dimensional details of the
surface of a specimen.
• Live specimens and objects as small as atoms can
be viewed.

Section 2 Cell Features
The Cell Theory
The Cell Theory has three parts:
1. All living things are made of one or more cells.
2. Cells are the basic units of structure and function in
organisms.
3. All cells arise from existing cells.

Cell Size
Small cells function more efficiently than large cells. If a
cell’s surface area–to-volume ratio is too low,
substances cannot enter and leave the cell well enough
to meet the cell’s needs.

Common Cell Features
Cells share common structural features, including:
•
•
•
•
•
an outer boundary called the cell membrane,
interior substance called cytoplasm,
structural support called the cytoskeleton,
genetic material in the form of DNA
cellular structures that make proteins, called ribosomes

Prokaryotes
Prokaryotes are
single-celled
organisms that lack a
nucleus and other
internal
compartments. They
have a cell wall, may
have cilia or flagella,
and have a single
circular molecule of
DNA.

•
The cytoskeleton provides the interior framework of
a cell. There are three basic kinds of cytoskeletal
fibers.
1. Microfilaments: long slender filaments made of the
protein actin
2. Microtubules: hollow tubes made of the protein
tubulin.
3. Intermediate fibers: thick ropes made of protein.

The Cell Membrane
•
The cell membrane is a selectively permeable
barrier that determines which substances enter and
leave the cell.
•
The selective permeability of the cell is mainly
caused by the way phospholipids interact with water.
•
A phospholipid is a lipid made of a phosphate
group and two fatty acids.

The Nucleus
• The nucleus is an internal compartment that houses
the cell’s DNA. Most functions of a eukaryotic cell
are controlled by the cell’s nucleus.
• The nucleus is surrounded by a double membrane
called the nuclear envelope.
• Scattered over the surface of the nuclear envelope
are many small channels called nuclear pores.

• The part of the ER with attached ribosomes is
called the rough ER.
• The rough ER helps transport proteins that are
made by the attached ribosomes.
• New proteins enter the ER.
• The portion of the ER that contains the completed
protein pinches off to form a vesicle.
• A vesicle is a small, membrane-bound sac that
transports substances in cells.

Packaging and Distribution of Proteins
• Vesicles that contain newly made proteins move
through the cytoplasm from the ER to an organelle
called the Golgi apparatus.
• The Golgi apparatus is a set of flattened, membranebound sacs that serve as the packaging and
distribution center of the cell.

• Mitochondria have two membranes. The outer
membrane is smooth. The inner membrane is greatly
folded, and has a large surface area.
• Mitochondria have their own DNA. Mitochondria
reproduce independently of the cell. Mitochondrial
DNA is similar to the DNA of prokaryotic cells.
• Mitochondria are thought to be descendents of
primitive prokaryotes.
