Question

when was the first cell discovered and by who ?

Answer 1

The first cell was discovered in 1665 by the English scientist Robert Hooke. He observed thin slices of cork under a microscope and noted the presence of small, box-like structures, which he termed "cells" because they resembled the small rooms (cells) that monks lived in. His observations were published in his work "Micrographia." This discovery laid the foundation for cell theory and the study of microscopy.
