1. What caused scientist to discover the existence of cells?
Scientists were able to discover the presence of cells thanks to the
microscope developed by Antonio Van Leeuwenhoek, which uses
lenses to magnify tiny living organisms, leading to the discovery of
plant and animal cells, as well as other cells.

2. What are the small rooms that monks lived in called?  


Little Boxes or Cells were the monks' tiny living quarters.

3. What did Hooke observe in the cork slice?


Under a microscope, Robert Hooke found "small boxes" on a slice of
cork that reminded him of "a great many little boxes." He referred to
the monks' living quarters as "cells."

4. What discovery is Van Leeuwenhoek noted for?


Van Leeuwonhoek is best known for inventing the microscope with a
lens that allows him to see living creatures that are invisible to the
naked eye. In addition, Bacteria, a living organism, was discovered.

5. What are the three parts of the cell theory?


The three sections of cell theory are as follows: (1) Each living being
is made up of one or more cells.
(2) Cells are the structural and functional building blocks of an
organism.
(3) Cells are formed solely by the division of pre-existing cells.

B. Complete the table based on the passage.

Date Scientist Discovery


1665 a. Robert Hooke  Observed the remains of dead plant
cells
b.1673  Anton van c. Discover the living cell which is the
Leeuwenhoek bacteria. 
1838 Matthias Schleiden d. All plants are made of cells.
e. f. Theodor Schwann Stated that all animals are made of
1839 cells
1855 g. Rudolf Virchow  h. States that cell are originated by
many cells.

Application: 
1. What makes the cell biological history so important to study with?
The benefit of studying the cell biological history is that it has led to new
discoveries such as diseases, bacteria, viruses, and other species. Cell
biologists working in animal, plant, and medical science will be able to
produce new vaccines, more efficient drugs, and plants with enhanced
characteristics as they understand how cells function in stable and
diseased states. They will also be able to gain a better understanding of
how all living organisms exist as a result of their expanded awareness. It
has saved millions of lives in various parts of the world by preventing
disease from spreading further.

1. What is Cell and Molecular Biology?


The structure and characteristics of the cell, which is the basic unit of life,
are studied in cell and molecular biology. The physiological properties,
metabolic processes, signaling mechanisms, life cycle, chemical
composition, and interactions of the cell with its environment are all
covered by cell biology.

2. Explain the different applications of cell and molecular biology.


  The difference between cellular and molecular biology is that cellular
biology deals with how animal, plant, and medical science manufacture
vaccines, medicine medicines, and high-quality foods in order to observe
and investigate how a living organism lives. Ability to perceive and
comprehend whether it is in a stable or diseased condition. While using the
diagnosis and other data from the Molecular Biological application, they
would be able to see what characteristics the cell has, as well as its
function and genetic details.

3. How does the cell theory formulated?


 Theodor Schwann and Matthias Schleiden discuss their experiments, with
Schleiden using plant cells and Schwann using animal tissues. They came
up with the three findings after discussing their observation and experiment
with each other. The first is that the cell is the unit structure, physiology,
and organization of living things; the second is that the cell has a dual
nature as a separate entity and a building block in the construction of the
organism; and the third is that cells grow through free cell forming, which is
analogous to crystal formation. However, the third one is incorrect since it
is interpreted as "All cells only emerge from pre-existing cells" with the aid
of Rudolph Virschow. That's how the cell theory came to be.

Reflection: 
All known species have a cell as their basic structural, functional, and
biological unit. Since cells are the smallest units of life, they are often
referred to as "building blocks of life." Cell biology, cellular biology, or
cytology are both terms for the study of cells. The cell theory, also known
as the cell doctrine, claims that all species are made up of identical
organizational units called cells. Schleiden & Schwann formally articulated
the idea in 1839, and it has remained the cornerstone of modern biology
ever since. The concept predates other major biological paradigms such as
Darwin's theory of evolution (1859), Mendel's laws of inheritance (1865),
and the creation of the human genome project. One of the most important
discoveries in science is the discovery of the nature of the tiny unit of life,
the cell, which has made significant contributions from the beginning to the
present. This discovery piques everyone's interest in how things work and
are important in our lives, and without the aid of scientists researching cells
and inventing the microscope, we would not be able to produce
medication, vaccines, or high-quality foods to avoid diseases and keep our
cells safe. They can also establish which viruses and bacteria are
responsible for the illnesses. It encourages us as individuals to be informed
and aware of the world around us, as well as to respect the technologies,
developments, and discoveries of scientists throughout history who provide
us with information data that we can use indefinitely, and may the presence
of cells assist us in saving more lives. Most importantly, we will not live in
this world without the presence of cells since we are all cells that develop
and grow.
