Why did it take 150 years for the cell theory to be developed.?

Answer 1

The more scientists worked on finding out more about the cell the more they learned about cells. Plus the microscopes became more advanced then the more they could see what was in the cell.

(This is only a middle school answer!!!)

Answer 2

Although Hooke and Leeuwenhoek were the first to report observing cells, the importance was not realized until about 150 years later. Biologists then began to organize information about cells into a unified understanding. from Modern Biology. Holt, Rinehart, and Winston. Chapter 4 "Cell Structure and Function," sub-heading "Cell Theory."

Answer 4

Because the microscopes Hooke had were useless for detail and it took 200 years to get a good enough microscope. Along with this nobody thought cells of any importance until later.

Answer 5

becausehoraswas tooimportantto be invented and the scientist coudnt focus on keep on doing the cell theory so that means it couldnt be developed in time or early.

Answer 6

More scientists worked on finding out about cells

Answer 7

because there wasnt microscopes at the time

Answer 8

because the technology they had day then was not as advaced as what we have today and

Answer 9

A great multitude of organisms had to be examined and found to be made of cells before the statement that all living things are made of cells could be trusted.

Answer 10

Because it was probably hard to formulate the cell
