MAIN IDEA: Early studies led to the development of the cell theory. In a phrase, tell what each scientist did to help develop the cell theory. Scientist Contribution to Cell Theory 1. Hooke 2. Leeuwenhoek 3. Brown 4. Schleiden 5. Schwann 6. Virchow
what are the Contribution to Cell Theory for the 6 people, reward will be given!!
Robert hook- Hooke published Micrographia, a book describing his microscopic and telescopic observations, and some original work in biology. Hooke coined the term cell for describing biological organisms, the term being suggested by the resemblance of plant cells to monks' cells Janssen- Both made compound microscope. Leeuwenhock-He is best known for his work on the improvement of the microscope and for his contributions towards the establishment of microbiology. Using his handcrafted microscopes he was the first to observe and describe single celled organisms, which he originally referred to as animalcules, and which we now refer to as microorganisms. He was also the first to record microscopic observations of muscle fibers, bacteria, spermatozoa and blood flow in capillaries (small blood vessels). Schlieden-Matthias Jakob Schleiden (April 5, 1804 - June 23, 1881) was a German botanist and co-founder of the cell theory, along with Theodor Schwann and Rudolf Virchow. Theodor Schwann-Theodor Schwann (December 7, 1810 – January 11, 1882) was a German zoologist. His many contributions to biology include the development of cell theory, the discovery of Schwann cells in the peripheral nervous system, the discovery and study of pepsin, the discovery of the organic nature of yeast, and the invention of the term metabolism. Rudolph Virchow-Rudolf Ludwig Karl Virchow (13 October 1821 – 5 September 1902) was a German doctor, anthropologist, public health activist, pathologist, prehistorian, biologist and politician. He is referred to as the "Father of Pathology," and founded the field of Social Medicine.He gave important sentence in cell theory- OMNIS CELLULAE E CELLULAE.
