YEAH, OF COURSE. IT'S ABOUT FORMULATION OF CELL THEORY.
WOW.. WHAT DO YOU CALL THESE TINY COMPARTMENTS?
HOOKE NAMED THESE COMPARTMENT CELLS.
DID YOU KNOW THAT IN 1665, AN ENGLISH SCIENTIST, ROBERT HOOKE, EXAMINED A THIN SLICE OF CORK WAS COMPOSED OF MANY TINY COMPRTMENTS WHICH RESEMBLED LITTLE ROOMS WITH SURROUNDING WALL.
EHHH? WHY DID HE NOT PURSUE IT?
WELL BECAUSE THE CELLS THAT HOOKE OBSERVED WERE NOT LIVING.
AM I RIGHT?
BUT HOOKE DID NOT PURSUE HIS INVESTIGATION OF THE CELL CONTENT.
HE DISCOVERED FREE CELLS AND OBSERVED THE NUCLEUS WITHIN SOME RED BLOOD CELLS. LEUWENHOEK WAS A CONTEMPORARY OF ROBERT HOOKE. HE HAD MOR SUCCESS IN LIVING CELL IN ACTION DESPITE HIS SMALLER, SIMPLER, HANDLED MICROSCOPES.
AMAZING..
IN 1674, THE DUTCH INVEENTOR ANTOINE VAN LEUWENHOEK OBSERVED RED BLOOD CELLS, SPERMS AND A MYRIAD OF SINGLE-CELLED ORGANISMS IN POND WATER.
THEY ARE ALL SMART...
I KNOW RIGHT.
IN 1838, MATTHIAS SCHLEIDEN, A GERMAN BOTANIST, STATED THAT ALL PLANTS ARE COMPOSED OF CELLSS. WHICH IS TRUE. AND IN 1839, THEODOR SCHWANN, A GERMAN ZOOLOGIST, CONCLUDED THAT ALL ANIMALS ARE COMPOSED OF CELLS WHICH IS ALSO TRUE.
