| Cell theory | Cells are the building blocks of structure in living things; Cells are the smallest unit of life; cells are derived from other cells (pre-existing cells) by division. |
| The importance of cell surface: volume ratios and cell size | The bigger the cells the surface area:volume ratio decreases. The smaller the cells the surface area:volume ratio increases. The smaller the cell is the more quickly and easily can materials be exchanged through the cytoplasm and environment. |
| How can magnification be stated? | Magnification could be stated (for example ×250) or indicated by means of a scale bar |
| Multicellular organisms |
