How did Robert hooke contribute to cell theory?

Answer 1

Robert Hooke was one of the first people to ever use microscope technology to examine life on the microscopic scale. While doing so, he coined the very word "cell" to refer to the small units that made up all life, naming them after the Monk cells he thoguht they resembled. As well, he was responsible for verifying Anthony von Leeuwenhoek's discovery of "little animals" now known as bacteria and protists.

Answer 2

He looked at thin slices of cork through his microscope and discovered little "cells," which he named because he described the plant cells as resembling the cells where monks lived. He then developed this discovery into cell theory.
In 1663 an English scientist, Robert Hooke, discovered cells in a piece of cork, which he examined under his primitive microscope. Actually, Hooke only observed cell walls because cork cells are dead and without cytoplasmic contents. Hooke drew the cells he saw and also coined the word CELL. The word cell is derived from the Latin word 'cellula' which means small compartment. Hooke published his findings in his famous work, micrographia: Physiological Descriptions of Minute Bodies made by Magnifying Glasses (1665).

Answer 4

Hooke wrote the book Micrographia, a book describing his observations. This was an original work in Biology. Hooke came up with the word cell after noticing the commonalities between plants and men.

Answer 6

Robert Hooke was the first person to observe cells under a microscope and coined the term "cell" in his book "Micrographia" in 1665. His observations and drawings laid the foundation for the development of the cell theory by later scientists.

Answer 7

He discovered the nucleus in 1833. Also, he used a microscope to examine cork (plant) and called what he saw "cells".
