Do You Know?
Can you see a cell with your naked eyes? Cells are very minute and said to be microscopic cannot be seen with our naked eyes. They can be observed only through a specialized scientific instrument called “microscope”. Now a days an electron microscope is used to magnify the cells and observe the cells.
Cell size has no relation to the size of an organism. It is not necessary that the cells of, say an elephant be much larger than those of a mouse.
Approximate number of cells in the human body is 3.7 x 1013 or 37,000,000,000,000.
Choose the best answers:
1. The unit of measurement used for expressing dimension (size) of cell is _____________
(a) Centimetre
