Detailed explanation-1: -Which historical event most directly contributed to the development of the cell theory? The discovery and classification of thousands of species of organisms.
Detailed explanation-2: -The invention of the microscope led to the discovery of the cell by Hooke. While looking at cork, Hooke observed box-shaped structures, which he called “cells” as they reminded him of the cells, or rooms, in monasteries. This discovery led to the development of the classical cell theory.
Detailed explanation-3: -Credit for developing cell theory is usually given to three scientists: Theodor Schwann, Matthias Jakob Schleiden, and Rudolf Virchow.
Detailed explanation-4: -Hooke, Schleiden, Schwann, and Virchow contributed to the evidence for the cell theory, and the tenets of the cell theory.
Detailed explanation-5: -1595 – Jansen credited with 1st compound microscope. 1655 – Hooke described ‘cells’ in cork. 1674 – Leeuwenhoek discovered protozoa. 1833 – Brown descibed the cell nucleus in cells of the orchid. 1838 – Schleiden and Schwann proposed cell theory. More items •05-Nov-2007
