★ Required Answer ★

• 1.Robert Hooke $\longrightarrow$ e. cork cells

Explanation:

Robert hooke was the first one who discovered cell in 1665. He took the cork of the tree which is the outermost part or layer of the tree. When he saw cork with his handmade crude microscope, he found that there was very small compartments honeycomb like structures and he named it "small room".Later it is known as "cell".

• 3.Muscle cells $\longrightarrow$ b.elongated

Explanation:

• 4.lysosome $\longrightarrow$c. destroy a dead cell
