When were cells discovered, and by who?

Answer 1

1665 by Robert Hooke named for monk's cells.
He observed dead cork and saw a cellular structure with the new invention the microscope.

Bacteria were first observed by Anton van Leeuwenhoek in 1676, using a single-lens microscope of his own design. He called them "animalcules" but the Royal Society adopted the name bacterium from the work of Christian Gottfried Ehrenberg in 1828.

Alexander Fleming discovered penicillin and made the connection between bacteria and disease. He noticed that if a physican washed his hands between treating women in labor they had a better survival rate, but this wasn't unitl 1928.

According to Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Hooke
"In 1665 he published a book entitled Micrographia which contained a number of microscopic and telescopic observations, and some original observations in biology. Hooke coined the biological term cell, so called because his observations of plant cells reminded him of monks' cells which were called "cellula." He is often credited with the discovery of the cell, although his microscope was very basic. Hooke's design was used by the Dutchman Anton van Leeuwenhoek, described as the father of microbiology."

According to Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacteria
"Bacteria were first observed by Anton van Leeuwenhoek in 1676, using a single-lens microscope of his own design. He called them "animalcules" and published his observations in a series of letters to the Royal Society. The name bacterium was introduced much later, by Christian Gottfried Ehrenberg in 1828."

According to Wikipedia:
"Sir Alexander Fleming (6 August 1881 – 11 March 1955) was a Scottish biologist and pharmacologist. Fleming published many articles on bacteriology, immunology, and chemotherapy. His best-known achievements are the discovery of the enzyme lysozyme in 1922 and isolation of the antibiotic substance penicillin from the fungus Penicillium notatum in 1928, for which he shared a Nobel Prize in 1945 with Florey and Chain...

By 1928, he was investigating the properties of staphylococci. He was already well-known from his earlier work, and had developed a reputation as a brilliant researcher, but quite careless lab technician; cultures that he worked on he often forgot, and his lab in general was usually in chaos. After returning from a long holiday, Fleming noticed that many of his culture dishes were contaminated with a fungus and he threw the dishes in disinfectant. But on one occasion, he had to show a visitor what he had been researching, and so he retrieved some of the unsubmerged dishes that he would have otherwise discarded, when he then noticed a zone around an invading fungus where the bacteria could not seem to grow. Fleming proceeded to isolate an extract from the mould, correctly identified it as being from the penicillium family, and therefore named the agent penicillin."

Answer 2

Cells were discovered in 1665 by British scientist Robert Hooke

Answer 3

Cells were discovered by Robert Hooke (1635 - 1705) in cork A cell is the basic unit of animal and plant form and structure. Schwann and Schleiden postulated in 1838 that all organisms are composed of cells and they were the first persons who distinguished between animal and plant cells.

Answer 4

Tons of people contributed to the discovery cells. The most prominent is probably Robert Hooke, who looked at cork through an early microscope and called the things he saw 'cells'. Cells are pretty much the basic unit of all living things.

Answer 5

cells ware discovered by a man called robert peel, then he discovered the peelers or the police force just so he could have people to put in the cells.

Answer 6

1665 - Robert Hooke
