Oh I have heard about it, I know that all living things are made of cells
Hello class! Today we are going to learn about the cell theory
I don't know, it sounds complicated
I know the last one! cells come from the reproduction of existing cells
Exactly, we have three postulates, the one mentioned by your partner and cells are the basic unit of structure and function in an organism (basic unit of life)
To learn more about the cell theory we have invited Robert Hooke, he is responsible for naming cells
Hello class! I will tell you a little about the history of cells in 1673, Leeuwenhoek a Dutch microscope maker, was first to view organism
In 1838, a German botanist named Matthias Schleiden concluded that all plants were made of cells Schleiden is a cofounder of the cell theory
In 1839, a German zoologist named Theodore Schwann concluded that all animals were made of cells Schwann also cofounded the cell theory
In 1855, a German medical doctor named Rudolph Virchow observed, under the microscope, cells dividing He reasoned that all cells come from other pre-existing cells by cell division
You are welcome!
Thanks for this information Mr. Hooke, now I understand cell theory much better
