What is the core premise of Cell Theory in biology?
✔✔ All living things are composed of cells (cells are the fundamental unit of
structure and function in all living organisms).
What was the historic scientific contribution of Anton van Leeuwenhoek?
✔✔ Observed and described the first microbes (using single-lens microscopes
of his own design, referring to them initially as "animalcules").
What was the historic scientific contribution of Robert Hooke?
✔✔ Reported that living things are composed of cells (coining the term "cell"
after observing cork tissue under an early compound microscope).
What evolutionary group represents the earliest forms of life on Earth?
✔✔ The ancestors of bacteria (prokaryotic-like microorganisms that arose over
3.5 billion years ago).

organisms
Jenner -ANSWER✔✔developed the first vaccine (smallpox)
Bassi -ANSWER✔✔discovered a fungus that caused disease in silkworms and
deduced that human diseases are caused by other living microorganisms
