Answer 1

Robert Hooke discovered cell in 1665 by his self designed microscope he saw that the cork resembled the structure of honeycomb

Answer 2

Robert Hooke, an English botanist observed thin slices of cork from the bark of a tree under a microscope which he himself had designed. He was excited to see small spaces bound by firm walls just like honey comb. He used the term “Cell” first to denote the compartments or spaces. This discovery was made in 1665. This experiment was conducted at the “Royal Society of London”. But all these were dead cells.

The cell was first discovered by Robert Hooke in 1665. He was an English microscopist and was the first person to identify and coin the term Cell. A Cell is defined as the basic structural and functional unit of an organism and also contains a set of different kinds of units which are necessary for the growth and reproduction of an organism.
In 1665, an English microscopist named Robert Hooke discovered and coined the term cell. He examined a thin slice cut from a piece of dried cork under the microscopes. He described the cork as the honey comb network of chambers and hence coined the term cell. In 1665, Hooke published a collection of essays under the title Micrographia. He described the discovery of these cells in the Micrographia.




Antonie van Leeuwenhoek invented a more improved light or compound microscope to make the study of cells easier. He observed living cells under it.
