Description | ||
The researchers hypothesized that larger organisms are not necessarily composed of larger cells than smaller organisms. This hypothesis was based on the premise that many organism are composed of specialized cells that perform different functions and those cells may vary in size. The examination of four cell specimens from organisms of varied sizes supported the researchers' hypothesis. The four cell specimens were as follows: 1. Elodia 2. Cheek 3. Larynx 4. Corn Root |
