Atypical cells that challenge the Cell Theory Striated muscle cell A tissue made of repeated units called sacromeres Challenge idea that cells have one nucleus per cell, each cell is multinucleated Giant algae (Acetabularia) A cell of gigantic size, 0.5 to 10 cm in length Have a small root-like structure called a rhizoid Challenge idea that cells are simple in structure and in small size Aseptate fungal hyphae Long threads with many nuclei Have no dividing cell walls called septa Possess a shared, continuous cytoplasm
Calculating Magnification 1000 nanometres = 1 micrometre 1000 micrometers = 1 millimetre
