Lesson 1. Cell Theory

This document provides a summary of the Cell Theory timeline from the 1600s to present. It outlines the key discoveries and contributors to the development of the Cell Theory, including: [1] Hooke's observation of cell structure in 1665, [2] Leeuwenhoek's improvement of the microscope and observation of single-celled organisms in 1670, [3] Schleiden's proposal in 1838 that plants are composed of cells, [4] Schwann's conclusion in 1839 that animal tissues are also made of cells, combining their statements into the original Cell Theory. The modern Cell Theory has since incorporated additional ideas about energy flow within cells, heredity through cell division, and the basic chemical composition

• From the years 1838-1839, Mathias Schleiden

theory:

1. All living organisms consists of one or more


cells.
