Who coined the term cell?
✓ Correct answer: a)
Robert Hooke
Explanation
In the 1660s, Robert Hooke looked through a primitive microscope at a thinly cut piece of cork.
He saw a series of walled boxes that reminded him of the tiny rooms, or cellula, occupied by monks. Medical historian Dr. Howard Markel discusses Hooke's coining of the word "cell."
