The Cell Theory: A Brief HistoryIn 1665, Robert Hooke
4、 saw a network of tiny boxlike compartments that reminded him of a honeycomb. He called these little compartments “cellulae”, a Latin term meaning little room. It is from this word we get our present-day term, cell. The microscope used by Robert Hooke and the honeycomb-like network of “cell” he draw
5、ed in 1665The discovery of cells followed from the invention of the microscopeCell theory has three basic tenets:1. All organisms are composed of one or more cells.2.The cell is basic unit of structure and function for all organisms.3.All cells arise only from preexisting cells by division.3. Why ar

All metabolic activity is based on cells. C. The cell is the foundation of reproduce, and the bridge of inheritance. D. The cell is the growin
7、g and developing basis of lifeHuman fetal development . (a)At 5 weeks, limb buds, eyes, the heart, the liver and rudiments of all other organs have started to develop in the embryo, which is only about 1cm long. (b)Growth and development of the offspring, now called a fetus, continue during the second trimester. This fetus is 14 weeks old and about 6cm long. (c)The fetus in this photograph is 20 weeks old. Now the fetus grows to about 30cm in length.
