Why did he cell theory require many scientific contributions?

The cell theory required many scientific contributions because it was developed over time by multiple scientists, each adding new insights and evidence. Contributions from scientists like Robert Hooke, Matthias Schleiden, and Theodor Schwann led to the formulation of the three basic tenets of the cell theory. Collaboration and building upon each other's work were essential to refining and solidifying the cell theory.


Who were the scientists who developed cell theory?

Robert Hooke first used the word 'cell' when he viewed cork under a microscope. Antonie van Leeuwenhoek was the first person to view a living cell. These observations, in addition ideas proposed by Ludolph Christian Treviranus, Johann Jacob Paul Moldenhawer and Henri Dutrochet led to the development of cell theory.


What did Schwann and Schleiden say on cells?

Schleiden and Schwann came up with what is known as "The Theory of Cells" or "Cell Theory." The main principles of "Cell Theory" are: 1. All living things are made up of cells. 2. Cells are the smallest units of living things 3. Cells only rise from existing cells. Schleiden said that All plants are made up of many different kinds of cells. Schwann added to that and said that All animal are made up of many different kinds of cells. Schwann also said that growth and development is due to the division of cells.


Which experiments led to changes to the original cell theory?

Back then, Robert Hooke found cells from a cork and named it cells. Later on, Matthias Schleiden found cells from plant parts and concluded that all plants are made of cells. Theodor Schwann, after observing many different animal cells, concluded that all animal have cells. Several years later, Rudolf Virchow hypothesized that cells divide to form new cells. Virchow proposed that every living organism has cells. His observations and conclusions and those of others are summarized in the cell theory.


How many articles did Alexander Fleming wrote?

Alexander Fleming wrote over 100 articles during his career as a scientist. His most famous article was the one describing the discovery of penicillin in 1928.
