Robert Hooke
A
Started cell theory
B
Invented vaccines
C
Discovered penicillin (the first antibiotic)
D
Invented science
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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. The classical cell theory was proposed by Theodor Schwann in 1839.

Detailed explanation-2: -Initially discovered by Robert Hooke in 1665, the cell has a rich and interesting history that has ultimately given way to many of today’s scientific advancements.

Detailed explanation-3: -He observed tiny porous honeycomb structures which he would refer to as cells, named after small rooms in monasteries. This discovery led Hooke to develop his Cell Theory, which hypothesized that that all organisms are made up of cells, and that cells are the most basic units of life.

Detailed explanation-4: -George Emil Palade is considered to be the father of cell biology. He pioneered the use of the electron microscope and with the help of it, he could discover the ribosomes and the activity of secretory proteins.

Detailed explanation-5: -The first cell theory is credited to the work of Theodor Schwann and Matthias Jakob Schleiden in the 1830s. In this theory the internal contents of cells were called protoplasm and described as a jelly-like substance, sometimes called living jelly.
