Document Summary
What is a cell: robert hooke first to tinker with lenses etc. , coined the term microscope. Looked at cork; made up of similar little compartments, that make up the object. Cellulae = cells (not living cells obviously, but the remains of cells saw the cell walls) Lay the groundwork for what would become the cell theory (in hundreds of years) After 200 years of observations and gathering data, we have a way of classifying every living organism into a tree, in the discipline of biology. What lead to this: better observation techniques help contribute to this knowledge, build on other peoples discoveries must communicate findings to other scientists. They can"t replicate on their own, they can"t metabolize without a host. According to cell theory, we can say that viruses are not a life form (they do not have a cell )
