2. Leeuwenhoek (1632-1723) is considered as “Father of Microbiology”. He was the first person to
observe the microbial organisms under microscopes. He used to construct different kinds of
lenses through which he used to observe water from a ditch and scrapings of his teeth etc and
observed numerous microorganisms in them. He communicated his findings to Royal Society of
London.
Robert hook observed the cork and coined the term cell. Rudolf Virchow proposed the theory of
biogenesis in 1858 which explains that the formation of life from preexisting life. Cell theory
proposed by Schleiden and Schwann states that living things are composed of one or more cells
and have formed spontaneously. Spontaneous generation theory explains about the sudden
existence of life from nonliving objects. It is also known as the theory of abiogenesis which has
been later disproved by Louis Pasteur and John Tyndall.
Two major types of cells are prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. The prokaryotic cells lack a true
nucleus and membrane bound cell organelles. They are smaller and microscopic in structure.
They contain a naked DNA i the cytoplasm. Eukaryotic cells have true nucleus and membrane
bound cell organelles. The DNA is enclosed within a nucleus.
