Answer 2

Discovery of Cells :

→ There are several discoveries that have changed the course of science and the world. Louis Pasteur discovered how heat can be used to kill pathogens in food, Nikola Tesla discovered alternating currents, and so on.

→ Similarly, the discovery of cells was a major breakthrough in the advancement of life science.

Who Discovered Cells ?

→ Cells are the basic structural and functional unit of life. The term “cells” was first coined in 1665 by a British scientist Robert Hooke. He was the first person to study living things under a microscope and examined a thin slice of cork under a microscope and observed honeycomb - like structures. Robert Hooke called these structures as cells.

→ Soon after this Antonie Van Leuwenhoek made further discoveries by inventing his own microscope lenses that were more powerful than the microscopes of his time. He was the first person to observe human cells and bacteria under his microscope.

→ With the advancements in microscopes, more discoveries were made about cells. However, with the help of a light microscope, it became difficult to visualise the minute structures inside the cells. As a result, a more powerful microscope, known as the electron microscope was invented that made it easier to observe objects smaller than cells.
