Which experiments led to changes to the original cell theory?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

• In seventeenth century, microscopes were improved.
• Robert Hooke cut a thin slice of cork and looked at it under the microscope.To Hooke, the cork seemed to be made up of empty little boxes,which he named cells.
• Matthias Schleiden used a microscope to study plant parts.
• Rudolph Virchow hypothesized that cells divide and form new cells

Answer 3

Experiments by scientists such as Theodor Schwann and Matthias Schleiden, who discovered that cells are the basic building blocks of life and all living things are composed of cells. Additionally, Louis Pasteur's experiments on spontaneous generation helped to disprove the notion that cells can arise from non-living matter. Rudolf Virchow's work on cell division also contributed to the idea that all cells come from pre-existing cells.

Answer 4

The research that led to the development of the cell theory was to use microscopes to observe the living cell.

Answer 5

Experiments done by Louis Pasteur were some of the experiments that led to changes to the original cell theory. His experiments are known as the scientific method.
