What did they use the first microscope for?
to look at cork cells
Is cork a prokaryotic cell?
Cork comes from trees which are eukaryotic
What does leeuwenhoek use his microscope to look at pond water blood cells cork cells plant cells soil samples?
pond water! Robert Hooke looked at a cork under a microscope.
How did Robert Hooke describe cork?
he described the cork cells to be tiny cells
What did Robert Hooke name the spaces in the cork?
Robert Hooke named the spaces in the cork cell
Is cork a prokaryote?
No, cork comes from cork trees, which are composed of eukaryotic cells.
Why did Robert Hooke use the word cell when he looked at cork through the microscope?
Robert Hooke used the word cell when he looked at cork through the microscope because he probably thought of prison cells (prison cells are all squashed together like cells/cell particles of the cork).
What cells did Robert Hooke first discovered?
he was looking at a piece of cork
Is cork alive?
A cork cell is a non living cell. These cells form a protective tissue that displaces the stem epidermis as the plant's diameter increases in size. These cells are produce from the living cork cambium. As the cork cambium cells divide, the push older cells towards the outside of the plant where they die and form cork and bark. Will it can The cells of the phellem are called cork cells, they are generated centrifugally, are non-living and have suberized cell walls. The phelloderm consists of cells given off towards the inside of the phellogen, forming the inner part of the periderm.
Why are cork cells plant cells?
Cork cells are found on the outer edge of bark on trees. Trees are plants, therefore the cells are plant cells as they are a part of the tree.
Why don't cork cells have cell membranes?
Because cork cell cells are dead, cell membrane are only present in living cells
What are cork cells and their functions?
The cells of the phellem are called cork cells, they are generated centrifugally, are non-living and have suberized cell walls. The phelloderm consists of cells given off towards the inside of the phellogen, forming the inner part of the periderm.
