Study Notes

Animal Cells

Animal cells are eukaryotic cells that possess a membrane-bound nucleus.
They vary in size from a few microns to a few millimeters.
Their shapes can differ, ranging from flat to oval or rod-shaped.
They are generally smaller than plant cells.

Plant Cells

Plant cells are eukaryotic cells that differ fundamentally from animal cells in several ways.
They are rectangular in shape and larger than animal cells.
They are the fundamental building blocks of plants.
Their primary function is photosynthesis, which occurs in the chloroplasts.
Photosynthesis uses sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water to create food for the plant.

Antonie van Leeuwenhoek's Microscopes

Antonie van Leeuwenhoek, a Dutch scientist, crafted microscopes by hand using secret techniques.
His microscopes magnified between 50 and 300 times.
His microscopes allowed him to observe sperm for the first time in history.
