Answer 3

Robert Hooke was an English microscopist. Hooke is known for his law of elasticity (Hooke's law), his book Micrographia, and for first applying the word "cell" to describe the basic unit of life. At the age of 27 he was awarded the position of curator of the Royal Society, England's foremost scientific academy. One of the many questions Hooke attempted to answer was why stoppers made of cork were so well suited to holding air in a bottle. As he wrote in 1665 "I took a good clear piece of cork, and with a Penknife sharpen'd as keen as a razor, I cut a piece of it off, and.... then examining it with a microscope me thought I could perceive it to appear a little porous... much like a Honeycomb." Hooke called the pores cells because they reminded him of the cells inhabited by monks living in a monastery. In actuality Hooke had observed the empty cell walls of dead plant tissue.
