Cell Theory
All living things are made up of cells. Cells are the basic unit of structure and function in organisms. New cells come from pre-existing cells.
Electron Microscope
Electron Microscope
A type of microscope that uses electrons to illuminate a specimen. It allows for much higher magnification and resolution than a light microscope, revealing incredibly fine details within cells.
Nucleus
Nucleus
The control center of the cell, containing the cell's genetic material (DNA). It directs all cellular activities and ultimately determines the characteristics of the organism.
