A Tour of the Cell
All

Cells
are generally
and can only be visualized through
microscopes.
Their small size enables them to have a high
area to

to facilitate the exchange of materials into and out of the cell.
Eukaryotic cells have membrane-bound

animal
cells and
plant
cells.

The

The

involved in cellular transport form the
