In the human body, the largest cell is the unfertilized egg cell (100-200 micrometers). However, as large as it is, it is still only the size of a small dot made by a pencil.
All unfertilized egg yolks are single cells, therefore frog eggs, chicken eggs and most certainly ostrich eggs, provide examples of easily visible single cells.
These single cells can also be seen without the aid of a microscope:
-The green algae Caulerpa can grow up to a meter long although it is a single cell. It can be seen in many salt water aquariums.
-Look at what you are eating in an orange or grapefruit. Each tiny sac of juice, with its thin tapered ends, is an individual plant cell.
-Thiomargarita namibiensis, the largest bacterium ever discovered, is no bigger than the period at the end of this sentence, but it can be seen without a microscope.

∙ 15y agono as i know off, most human cells are 10 µm ( or 10×10−6 m) and i don't know about you but personally i cannot see anything smaller than a 10th of a millimeter

What type of microscope would you use to see the parts of a cell?
Electron microscope
Why would you need a microscope yo see a prokaryote organism?
because the prokaryote organism is way to small to see without a microscope
What kind of microscope can be used to study organelles?
A light microscope is sufficient to see the shape of the cell and it's nucleus. However to see the smaller organelles, you would want to use an electron microscope.
What is the importance of microscope in the discovery of cell?
Without the invention of the microscope, cells would either not ever been discovered or would have been discovered much later. This is because microscopes are the only way to see cells, and thus are the only way to prove their existence
How would you be able to distinguish parts of the organisms using a microscope?
by looking at the species and see if it has a cell then you know it is a plant cell and if it has no then it is an animal cell
Do you need a microscope to see a cell?
We need a microscope to see cells because they are too small to see without one.
What kind of microscope would be used to see parts of a cell?
Electron microscope
What types of microscope would you use to see part of a cell?
Electron microscope
What type of microscope would you use to see the parts of a cell?
Electron microscope
What important of microscope in the study of cell?
Well - you can't see them without one.
Why was the development of the microscope important to the discovery of cell?
Because without it we couldn't see cells
Is a cat multicelullar?
Yes, a cat is multicellular. multicellular means that it is made of more than one cell. one cell is so small you can only see it with a powerful microscope. can you see cats without a microscope?
Is a rabbit unicellular?
All living things you can see without a microscope are most definetly multicellular meaning is made up of more than 1 cell
What parts of the cheek cell are not visible under a light microscope?
With a less stronger microscope the nucleus ,cell membrane and cytoplasm are visible,but in plant cell cell wall and chlorophalast
Can you detect cell walls with a light microscope?
no, you would need great magnifacation to see a cell wall
Why would you need a microscope yo see a prokaryote organism?
because the prokaryote organism is way to small to see without a microscope
Why you would expect to see cell if you looked at a section of a mushroom cap under a microscope?
Organisms vary in size from the microscope.
