multiple choice
1. who was one of the early natural philosophers who coined the name “cella” for the
empty cork spaces that became the word we use today, “cells”?
a. robert hooke
b. zacharias janssen
c. francesco stalluti
d. giovanni faber
ANS:>a.
robert hooke, in 1665, used a compound microscope to examine a thin slice of cork. he
observed tiny compartments, which he named “cells” because they reminded him of the
small rooms (cellae) in a monastery.
2. leeuwenhoek made lenses that allowed him to magnify objects more than 200x.
however, he failed to promote scientific inquiry because:
a. he didn't share his drawings with other scientists.
b. he didn't reveal how he ground the lenses and no one else was doing it that well.
c. he limited his research to pond water.
d. it was only a hobby, and he didn't live very long.
ANS:>b.
, although leeuwenhoek made groundbreaking discoveries, such as observing bacteria and
protozoa, he never disclosed his lens-making techniques. this secrecy prevented other
scientists from replicating his findings and slowed scientific progress.
3. leeuwenhoek was the first person to:
a. see viruses.
b. use a microscope.
c. describe bacteria.
d. suggest animalcules caused disease.
ANS:>c.
using his handcrafted microscopes, leeuwenhoek was the first to observe and describe
bacteria (which he called "animalcules") in the late 1600s.
4. francesco redi is famous for performing one of the first experiments over the debate
regarding spontaneous generation. what was his experiment?
a. he boiled some mutton gravy and sealed the tops with corks.
b. he covered some jars of meat with gauze and left others open. the covered jars did not
develop maggots, the uncovered ones did.
c. he showed that mice will appear with damp rags and rice.
d. he boiled broth for longer periods of time and sealed the tops with melted glass.
ANS:>b.
redi’s experiment in the 17th century provided strong evidence against spontaneous
generation by demonstrating that maggots only appeared on uncovered meat, proving
they came from flies, not spontaneously.
5. who did not attempt to prove or refute the idea of spontaneous generation?
a. francesco redi
b. robert koch
c. lazzaro spallanzani
