Q

Who was Anton van Leeuwenhoek?

A

He studied blood, pond water, and substances from his teeth, built microscopes magnified to 300x, 1632-1723, first to observe red blood cells, first to see single-celled organisms he called “animalcules”, Dutch

Q

What is the cell theory?

Q

What is the difference between plant cells and animal cells?

A

Plant cells have cell walls, chloroplast, and are rectangular and the animal cell does not have any of that. The vacuole is also much larger in a plant cell.
