Development of Cell Theory Robert Hooke

The document outlines the development of the cell theory by various scientists from the 1600s to 1900s. Key contributors include Robert Hooke, who first observed cells under a microscope; Matthias Schleiden and Theodore Schwann, who introduced the concept that plants and animals are made of cells; and Rudolf Virchow, who formulated the cell theory that all cells come from pre-existing cells. The cell theory states that the cell is the basic unit of life, all organisms are made of one or more cells, and new cells are produced from existing cells.

for life.
 Makes up all organisms
 Fundamental or basic unit of life

Development of Cell Theory

Robert Hooke
 First to use a microscope to observe cork and coined what he
observe as cells.
 Was responsible for the beginnings of cytology as a subdivision
of biology.

Anton Van Leeuwenhoek (1632- 1723)


 Discovered bacteria and other microscopic organisms in
rainwater and studied the structure of plant and animal cells.
Jean Baptiste Pierre Antoine de Monet (1744-1829)
 Proposed that cells are filled with fluids.

Francesco Redi (1627-1697) and Lazzaro Spallanzani (1729-1799)


 Disproved the spontaneous generation theory

Henri Dutrochet (1776-1847)


 Proposed that cell is the fundamental unit of living organism.
 Proposed that all living things are made up of cells.

Robert Brown (1773-1858)


 Discovered the presence of nuclei within cells.
 Described nucleus as small, dense, round body inserted in a
cell.

Felix Dujardin (1801-1860)


 Noted that all living things contains a thick jelly fluid which he
called sarcode that time.
 Recognized that one-celled organisms are in existence.

Matthias Schleiden (1804-1881) and Theodore Schwann (1810-1882)


 Introduced the concept that all plants and animals are made
up of cells.
Johannes Purkinje (1787-1869)
 Coined the term protoplasm to refer to the living matter of
cell.

Max Schultze (1825-1874)


 Use the tern protoplasm to show that the material is found in
all types of organism, making the protoplasm as the physical
basis of life.
Rudolf Virchow (1821-1902)
 Found that cells divide to form new cells and concluded that
all cells come from pre-existing cells.
 Formulated the cell theory.

2
Louis Pasteur (1882-1895)
 Supplied the proof for Virchow’s theory of biogenesis.

James Watson (1928-_________) and Francis Crick (1966-2004)


 Built the model for the structure of DNA.

o Schleiden- “ All plants are made up of cell"


o Schwann-“ All animals are made up of cell"

CELL THEORY
1. Cell is the basic unit of life.
2. All organisms are made up of cell.
3. Cells come from pre-existing cell.
