What were the contributions of Anton van Leeuwenhoek to biology?

Answer 1

In 1858, observed cells dividing under the microscope & deducted that ALL cells come from other living cells. Who ever put this answer was completely wrong.

He helped contribute to it because he was examing the inside of the cork also known as the cell walls. He couldn't figure out what a real cell looked like because the cork cells were all dead.

Answer 2

Though van Leeuwenhoek actually did not invent the first microscope, he made lenses with tremendously improved magnification and designed improved microscopes.

His microscopes allowed him to make many discoveries about the microscopic world. He was the first person to see single cell microscopic organisms, but had pointed his microscopes at hundreds of specimens and all manner of plants, animals and minerals.

He also discovered bacteria, free living and parasitic microscopic protists, blood cells, sperm cells, egg cells, fertilized cells, blood cells, microscopic nematodes, rotifiers, infusoria, spermatozoa, and the protozoans that he called, "little animacules."

Answer 3

Hooke was the first to see and describe the concept of a "cell" in a piece of cork. Leeuwenhoek was the first person to use a microscope to see single celled organisms that he called "animalcules" which today we just refer to as microbiotic life

Answer 4

cell was discovered by robert hooke in 1665. he observed the cell in a cork slice with the help of a primitive microscope.the cork slice resembled the structure of a honey comb consdisting of small compartments . hooke called these boxex cells. cell in latin means a small room.

Answer 5

He was a Dutch naturalist who made his own light microscope and used it to discover living cells for the first time.He observed microorganisms in pond water under his microscope and called them animalcules.

Answer 6

Anton van Leeuwenhoek 's greatest contribution to the development of the cell was his very invention. He invented various microscopes.

Answer 7

Anton Van Leeuwenhoek contribution to the cell theory is that he was the one who discovered free living and microscopic protists and bacteria.

Answer 8

his name is BIG JOHN

Answer 9
