Question

Robert Brown discovered the cell

A) True

B) False

Answer 1

Hint: The most basic structural and functional unit of life is the cell. It was an important discovery in the field of scientific study, especially in biology. It revolutionized as the discovery of a cell became the basis for all the upcoming discoveries and gave us the important details about the cell for the first time. 

Complete answer:

Robert Brown was a Scottish botanist and paleobotanist. He made important contributions to botany by his pioneering use of the microscope.

 He is known for the discovery of the nucleus in the cell in the year 1831. He also named the nucleus. He also identified the naked ovule of the Gymnosperms plants. He did not discover the cell. 

He is best known for the discovery of the random movement of microscopic particles in a surrounding solution, later referred to as "Brownian motion." He also developed an alternative plant classification. 

His discovery of the nucleus and its role helped to prove the cell theory, which states that all living organisms are composed of cells and cells come from pre-existing cells. 

The contribution in discovery and naming of over 2000 species of plants has been done by Robert Brown. 

Robert Hooke in the year 1665 was the first to discover and name the cell. Hooke saw the dead cell walls of plant cells (cork) as it appeared under the microscope.

The above statement about the discovery of cells is false.

Note:

In living things cells are the basic building blocks. The human body is composed of trillions of cells, all with their specialized function. All living organisms have cells as their basic structure. Cells take in nutrients from food and carry out important functions. Motor neurons are the longest cells in the human body. All living things are made up of cells. Cells are made up of proteins and organelles. Groups of cells form tissues and systems.
