| The scientist who described cells as "many little boxes" was | a. Robert Hooke |
| Living and nonliving things are different in that only | c. living things are made of cells |
| Microscopes were used to study cells beginning in the | b. 17th century |
| The advantage of van Leeuwenhoek's microscopes was that | d. the lenses were ground very precisely |
| Which of the following was a major event in history of cell biology? a. cloning animals b. growing bone tissue for transplant c. discovery of cell parts d. all of the above | d. all of the above |
| A light microscope uses optical lenses to magnify objects by | a. bending light rays |
| State the three parts of the cell theory. | Matthias Schleiden concluded that all plants were composed of cells; Theodor Schwann concluded the same thing for animals; Rudolf Virchow noted that all cells come from other cells. |
| Why did it take 150 years for the cell theory to be developed after microscopes were invented? | Biologists began to organize information about cells into a unified understanding. The three observations were combined to form a basic theory about the cellular nature of life. |
| Why did Hooke's cork cells appear to be empty? | The cells were dead plant cells. |
| If you that a new organism had been discovered, what would you know about the organism without examining it in terms of cells? | it would have the characteristics of life |
