Discovery of Cell - Class 11 Biology


Aristotle (384-322 B.C.) and Paracelsus, two ancient Greek philosophers, believed that the complex structure of animals and plants is made up of a few repeating elements. These were an organism's macroscopic structures, such as roots, leaves, and flowers for plants, and organs for animals.

Conrad Gesner (1516-1565), a Swiss biologist, researched the structure of a kind of protists termed foraminifera after the introduction of magnifying lenses in 1558.

The compound microscope, invented in 1590 by Francis Janssen and Zacharias Janssen, aided in the advancement of cell biology research.

Marcello Malpighi (1628-1694), an Italian microanatomist, examined thin slices of animal tissues from organs such as the brain, kidney, spleen, and lungs, as well as plant tissues, and proposed that they were made up of structural units he called "utricles."

Cell was coined by Robert Hooke (1635-1703), an English microscopist (cell in Latin means – empty cavity).

A small slice of dry cork was examined under a compound microscope by Robert Hooke. In 1665, he published Microphagia, a compilation of articles, one of which depicted cork as a honeycomb of chambers or cells. Hooke compared the cells he saw to animal veins and arteries, noting that they were filled with "juices" in living plants. 

Microscopic organisms in rainwater collected from tubes placed into the soil during rainfall were described by Anton van Leeuwenhoek in 1675. Numerous bacteria, protozoa, rotifers, and Hydra were included in his sketches. He was also the first to witness the movement of blood cells in mammals, birds, amphibians, and fish, noting that those of fish and amphibians were oval in shape and had a core body (today dubbed the nucleus), while those of humans and other mammals were round. He also paid attention to the striated muscles.

Magnetic and non-magnetic material Class 6 Science

Magnetic and non-magnetic material  Class 6 Science A magnet is a substance that is drawn to certain magnetic materials like iron, cobalt, and nickel. Magnets have the ability to draw iron to them. Natural magnets are rocks that naturally draw iron. Non-magnetic materials include things like wood, rubber, coins, feathers, leather, etc. that are not drawn to iron. Magnet characteristics It pulls magnetic materials, such as iron. The magnet's two ends are referred to as its poles. The magnet's diametrically opposed poles are drawn together. Heating, hammering, or dropping causes it to lose its characteristics. On the basis of properties types of Magnets Temporary magnets are those magnets that are magnetic for only a little duration. Typically, iron, cobalt, or nickel are used to make them. When they are close to the powerful magnet, they act like a magnet. When they are yanked away from the powerful magnet, they stop being magnetic. Permanent magnets are magnets that have magne...

What are Noble Gases? Example and noble gases name

What are Noble Gases? Example and noble gases name Noble Gases Noble gases, sometimes known as inert gases or erosions, are part of the modern periodic table's 18th group. This group is made up of the following individuals: Helium is a kind of gas (He) Neon (Ne) Argon is a gas (Ar) Krypton  (Kr) Xenon is a kind of xenon gas (Xe) Radon is a gas that can cause cancer (Rn) Noble gases exist in a gaseous state under typical temperature and pressure conditions. Because all noble gases have stable electronic structures, they have very little chemical reactivity. They are monoatomic gases that do not readily form molecules. 'ns2np6' represents the basic electrical configuration of noble gases. As a result, noble gases' outermost valence shells can be deemed 'complete.' The chemical inertness of the group of 18 elements is due to this. Because of the stability of certain elements, these gases form a group. These stable elements' crusts are totally filled.
