Question

Modern cell theory is best described as being based on

previous observations and facts

experiments conducted in the mid-1600s

the invention of the microscope

the work of Robert Hooke mainly

Answer 1

I hate questions like these because it says BEST described..

Answer 2

I know. It is entirely subjective.

"Previous observations and facts" is a duh answer. It could apply to anything in science. The question asks for what *best* describes cell theory, so I would say the answer it wants probably is not this general one...

Answer 3

What do you mean, duh answer?

Answer 4

Obvious. All science is based on previous observation and facts. It is so general that it could be applied to anything in science.

Answer 5

So, the first one? I'm confused.

Answer 6

*Not* the first one. It asks for the best answer for cell theory. Not the one which could be said about anything under the sun.

Answer 7

Oh lol.

Answer 8

It isn't the last one is it?

Answer 9

I think it's the 2nd one. Mainly because a lot of the early scientists were in those days.

Answer 10

I think it is the last one.

A lot of scientific work went on in the 1600s which had nothing to do with cell theory. Some of it did, but most didn't. And Robert Hooke both invented the microscope (or at least much improved existing microscopes) and used his new invention to see cells for the first time.

Answer 11

I see. I'm putting these in my notes! :D

Answer 12

:D

Answer 13

So, you think it's the Robert Hooke one?

Answer 14

Answer 15

Sorry, different conversation going there. Yes. I think it is the one about Robert Hooke.

Answer 16

it is Not Robert Hooke
