A cell in guile (see also guile's manual) is one memory object (one used variable or value, or one pointer to a more complex structure). Basically, think of them as "memory used". They are not called Bytes or memory, because 1) each cell is a double word and 2) while for simple variables like a number they directly store the value, for more complex objects, they only store a pointer and you don't know how much memory is really needed by that scheme object.
