Who discovered the cell?

  1. Louis Pasteur
  2. Charles Darwin
  3. Robert Hooke
  4. Antonie van Leeuwenhoek
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: C. Robert Hooke

1. Robert Hooke first saw cells in 1665 in a cork slice under his microscope. 2. He coined the term 'cell' from the Latin cellula (small room). 3. Antonie van Leeuwenhoek later saw living cells in pond water. 4. So Robert Hooke discovered the cell as a structural unit. _Source: Selina Concise Biology ICSE Class 10, Ch 1 'Cell, the Structural and Functional Unit of Life'_
