Who named cells and when?
Robert Hooke coined the term "cell" in the mid 1600's. He named them because when he first observed the under a microscope, he was looking at a piece of cork; whose cells are rectangular and reminded him of the cells in a monastery.
Examples of cell specialization?
Cell specialization is the process in which a generic cell develops into a specific type of cell. This happens in response to specific triggers from the body or the cell itself. Three examples of specialized cells are the sperm cell, the fat cell, and the white blood cell.
What is cytophotometry?
The study of cells and chemical compounds within a cell using Cytophotometer: an instrument for examining cells by determining the intensity or wavelengths of light transmitted through them.
What is relative reference?
if you move or copy the formula to another cell, the cells referred formula will changed. Excel adjusts the cell references relative to the new cell in which the formula is pasted. this is called relative referencing.
Is cork produced by a plant or animal?
It's produced by the Cork Oak tree. Workers cut large sections of bark from the tree, taking care not to damage the inner layers. If done correctly, the bark will grow back. Wikipedia has a good article - see related link.
Who named cells after observing cork cell walls in 1665?
Robert Hooke named cells after observing cork cell walls in 1665.
Is cork an open cell or closed cell material?
Cork is made out of different woods which are made of plant cells which contain cell walls. A major component is cellulose,
Do you believe the cork that Hooke observed could produce new cells Explain.?
No because what he saw was non living cell walls were cells once lived im not sure if the cell walls could produce cells.
What are cork cells and their functions?
The cells of the phellem are called cork cells, they are generated centrifugally, are non-living and have suberized cell walls. The phelloderm consists of cells given off towards the inside of the phellogen, forming the inner part of the periderm.
Is cork alive?
A cork cell is a non living cell. These cells form a protective tissue that displaces the stem epidermis as the plant's diameter increases in size. These cells are produce from the living cork cambium. As the cork cambium cells divide, the push older cells towards the outside of the plant where they die and form cork and bark. Will it can The cells of the phellem are called cork cells, they are generated centrifugally, are non-living and have suberized cell walls. The phelloderm consists of cells given off towards the inside of the phellogen, forming the inner part of the periderm.
Do cork have cell walls?
Yes - cork is made from the bark of trees.
What fills the space inside the walls of the cork cells?
what is the name of the cellular structure that surrounds the cork cell
Why don't cork cells have cell membranes?
Because cork cell cells are dead, cell membrane are only present in living cells
Which structure was most visible when Anton Van Leeuwenhoek first saw cork cells under a microscope?
The cell walls of the cork were so apparent that it reminded him of the cells in which monks lived, hence the name.
Why does a cork cell appear empty under a microscope?
The stems of woody plants have an outer layer called bark. Bark contains layers of dead cells called cork. Plant cells have a non-living cell wall surrounding the living contents (cytoplasm, nucleus etc). The cells walls of the cork cells contain a waxy material called suberin. This is waterproof and so reduces the loss of water from the stem. However suberin also prevents the cork cells from obtaining water, so the living contents of the cells die and disintegrate, leaving the empty cell walls. So, when Hooke observed cork cells they were empty because they had lost their living contents and all he was seeing were the cell walls.

Are these made of cells wood plastic and a tree?
only a cork and wood made of a tree are made of largely made of cell walls.
Where is the cell membrane in the cells that have cell walls?
The cell membrane is found just inside under the cell wall in plant cells, which are the cells with cell walls Animal cells do not have cell walls.
