Questions to Answer

1. What theory did these scientists provide evidence for?

 CELL THEORY
2. What instrument was necessary before the cell theory could be developed?
MICROSCOPE
3. Which 3 scientists directly contributed evidence for the cell theory?

1) Theodor Schwann

2) Matthias Jakob Schleiden

3) Rudolf Virchow.

4. How did the earlier scientists and their contributions directly affect the discoveries of later scientists (see #2)? For example what had to come first?

• Hans and Zacharias Janssen had to first develop the microscope before cells could be discovered.
•  Hooke's discovery of the cell was made possible by the development of the microscope. Hooke noticed box-shaped structures on cork that he named
"cells" because they resembled the monastic cells or apartments And the other scientist discover more and more because f the microscope that first
made and later on develop

5. List the 3 Parts of the Cell Theory:

6. All living things are composed of cells (unicellar and multi-cellar) 3. New cells are produced from existing cells(different types of cell
division)

7. Cells are the basic unit of structure and function in living things (Different cell types look and function differently)
