Maria, Did you know that all living things are made up of cells
In 1665 an English scientist Robert Hooke. Investigated cork through experimenting with the compound microscope and came up with the name cells.
Oh, I remember him. Due to its discovery, it was started formulating the cell theory.
Anton Van Leeuwenhoek's became one of the first scientists to refer to living cells when he observes an abundant number of single-cell organisms, which he called animalcules {plant and animal} after observing a drop of pond water.
And then, Theodor Schwann was intrigued by the similarities of plant and animal cells which Schwann was able to determine that all animals are made of cells.
In 1883, German scientist Matthias Schleiden used the compound microscope and studies plant cells, from investigating and experimenting with plants, projected plants parts are made of cells.
What similarities?
This laid the foundation for the idea that cells are the fundamental components of plants and animals. In the other words, The cell is the basis of the unit of life which is considered as the building block of all living things.
Oh, I remember. All living things are made up of one or more cells or all living things are made of cells and cells products. The first statement of Schwann published of the cell theory.
Then Rudolf Virchow, a well-respected pathologist, proposed that all living cells only arise from pre-existing cells using the Latin phrase omni cellulae e cellula a process of reproduction to duplicate and replace themselves by dividing.
We already understand how the cells contributed a lot to organisms how they created, grow, and die. It also helps you understand fundamental issues as life and death. It is very amazing to engage yourself with this learning for us to know deeply the cells.
Wow, it's engaging and informative. We should value every living thing because it is a gift from above to us.
