Question

The figure of cork cells as seen by Robert Hooke was published in his book called as ________
A) Origin of species
B) Plant kingdom
C) Genera Plantarum
D) Micrographia

Answer 1

Hint:Hooke’s ideas led to cell theory, which states that all organisms are made of cells, all life functions occur in cells, and all cells come from other cells.

Complete answer:
Let’s discuss the given options and find the answers.
>The Origin of Species published on 24 November 1859, maybe a work of scientific literature by Darwin which is taken into account to be the inspiration of evolutionary biology. Darwin's book introduced the theory that populations evolve over the course of generations through a process of survival.
>Plants live organisms belonging to the dominion Plantae. They include familiar organisms like trees, herbs, bushes, grasses, vines, ferns, mosses, and chlorophyte.
>Genera Plantarum may be a publication of Swedish naturalist Carl Linnaeus. The primary edition was issued in Leiden, 1737.
>The cork cells seen by Hooke were published in his book 'Micrographia'. It was published in January 1665. It was the first book that illustrates the microscopic view of plants and insects.

 Hence option D: Micrographia is the correct answer.

Note:Hooke is remembered as the coiner of the word “cell,” referring to the cavities he observed in thin slices of cork.
