Robert Hooke in 1665 observed slices of cork under a simple magnifying device.Cork is a part of the bark of a tree.He took thin slices of cork and observed it under a microscope.He noticed partitioned boxes or compartments in the cork slice.
These boxes appeared like a honey-comb.He also noticed that one box was separated from the other by a wall or partition.Hooke coined the term 'cell' for each box.What Hooke as boxes or cells in the cork were actually dead cells.
Cells of living organisms could be observed only after the discovery of improved microscopes.Very little was known about the cell for the next 150 years after Robert Hooke's observations.
Today,we know a lot about cell structure and functions because of improved microscopes having higher magnification
What else can I help you with?
Plasma membrane found in animal cell plant cell or both?
The Plasma membrane is found in both the animal cell and plant cell.
Name two things found in a plant cell that are not found in an animal cell-?
Two things found in a plant cell that are not found in an animal cell include the chloroplast and the large vacuole. A smaller vacuole is found in animal cells but only plant cells have a cell wall.
What is another lipid found in the cell membrane?
Another lipid found in the cell membrane is cholesterol.
Is the cell membrane found in the plant cell or the animmal cell?
Cell membranes are found in both animal and plant cells. They are composed of a phospholipid bilayer, which is responsible for controlling what can come into and out of the cell. Plant cells also have a cell wall, which animal cells do not. This is outside of the cell membrane. It is composed primarily of cellulose, hemicellulose and pectin - and provides structural support and rigidity to the plant cell.
Is a cell wall found in a plant cell or animal cell?
Yes. Cell walls are found in plant cells. They distinguish plant cells from the cells of other living things.
Is a cell wall found in a plant cell or in a animal cell?
Cell wall is found in a plant cell.
What type of cell is cell membrane found him?
it is found in on the outer layer of the cell

Where in a cell is chloroplast found?
It is found anywhere IN the cell wall of a plant cell. It is the part of the cell that does "Photosynthesis."
What cell type is primarily found?
The molecule cell is the main cell found. This cell contains nucleptidees.
Is a cell wall found in a plant or animal cell?
it is found in just a plant cell
What structure are found in plant cell not found in animal cell?
Cell wall and chroloplasts
Is a cell membrane found in a animal cell?
A cell membrane found in a animal cells. It can be found in every living cell. Fungi, bacteria and plants have, in addition, the cell wall.
What is found within a cell?
molecules are found within a cell.
Are cytoplasm found in the nucleus of a cell?
are nucleoplasm found in a cell
What are three things found in a plant cell that are not found in an animal cell?
A Cell Wall.
