1.1 Multiple Choice Questions
1) Robert Hooke coined the term cell when studying thin slices of cork. These
were the first cells observed because .
A) dead plant cells; the thick cells walls did not require high resolution or magnification to view
B) dead animal cells; they were immobile and did not need to be fixed before viewing
C) compartments; they were actually the result of multiple cells that had merged and died to form large
compartments that were easy to view
D) immune cells; they produce antibodies that embed in the cell membrane to make it visible
E) "little rooms"; they were 100 nm in diameter, much larger than most plant cells Answer: A
