 I. The Cell Theory
,
The Cell Theory states that all living things are made of cells cells are the basic unit of

,
structure and function for all living things and all cells are produced by other living

cells .

Robert Hooke
, ,
Robert Hooke was born July 18 1635 in Freshwater Isle of Wight and died March 3 ,
.
1703 He was the English scientist and inventor who wrote the 1665 book

,
Micrographia in which he coined the term "cell" for a basic biological structure A gifted .
,
student with a particular talent for mechanics Hooke was educated at Oxford where ,
he assisted Robert Boyle with his successful air pump experiments A member of the .
, ,
Royal Society from 1663 Hooke was accomplished in astronomy biology physics and ,
,
architecture and his skill as an instrument maker gave him an edge over his

.
contemporaries He argued with Isaac Newton over the nature of light and gravity and ,
their long-running debate is said to have left both men forever bitter toward each other .
Hooke's studies of springs and elasticity led to his enunciation of "Hooke's Law" (a

,
spring's extension is proportional to the weight hanging from it) and he is credited with

,
inventing the balance spring that allowed for the making of small accurate timepieces .
, ,
He also invented a reflecting microscope the universal joint and a variety of clocks ,
.
barometers and optical devices Although not a surveyor or architect by profession ,
Hooke was named London's Surveyor after the Great Fire of 1666 and with ,
,
Christopher Wren given the task of rebuilding the city .
