Answer:

initially discovered by Robert Hooke in 1665, the cell has a rich and interesting history that has ultimately given way to many of today's scientific advancements.

He remarked that it looked strangely similar to cellula or small rooms which monks inhabited, thus deriving the name. However what Hooke actually saw was the dead cell walls of plant cells (cork) as it appeared under the microscope.

hope this answer will help.

Pls mark me as brainliest.

  • Robert Hooke discovered the cell in 1665, and his book Micrographia describes it.
  • He detailed 60 'observations' of diverse things using a crude compound microscope in this book.
  • Very tiny shards of bottle cork provided one observation. Hooke discovered a slew of small holes dubbed "cells" by him.
  • This is derived from the Latin words Cella, which meant 'a little apartment' where monks resided, and Cellulae, which signified a honeycomb's six-sided cell.
  • Hooke, on the other hand, had no idea what they were made of or what they did.
  • The empty cell walls of plant tissues were mistaken for cells by Hooke.
  • Hooke was unable to discern that the cells he was seeing included other interior components due to the poor magnification of microscopes available at the time.
  • He didn't believe the "cellulae" were living because of this.
