Study Notes
Cell Theory Development
- Cell theory wasn't established at once, but accumulated through contributions from various scientists.
- It's often described as "the friends we made along the way."
Transition from Unicellular to Multicellular Organisms
- Unicellular organisms existed approximately 2.5 billion years ago.
- As oxygen levels increased and environments became more favorable, these organisms evolved into multicellular forms, including animals and humans.
Key Biological Contributors to Cell Theory
- Robert Hooke (1655): English scientist.
