2. what was this scientist famous for?
3. name of the dutch scientist who made his own microscope
4. what famous discovery did this scientist make with his home - made microscope? how did he make this discovery?
5. what did he call his discovery?
6. name of the english scientist who is credited for coming up with the term \cell\
7. what was this scientist looking at when he came up with the name \cell?\
8. why did he call them cells?
9. what did robert hooke do to make sir isaac newton mad?
10. why does no one know what robert hook looked like?

Explanation:

To answer these questions, we refer to the video "The Wacky History of the Cell Theory" and related cell theory history:

1. Three parts of cell theory:

1. All living organisms are composed of one or more cells.
2. The cell is the basic unit of structure and function in living organisms.
3. All cells arise from pre - existing cells.

2. Spectacle maker from Netherlands (early 1600s):

Hans Lippershey (or Zacharias Janssen, often credited with early microscope - related work in this time and region).

3. Fame of this scientist:

Developing (or being associated with) early compound microscopes, which helped in the early exploration of microscopic structures.

4. Dutch scientist who made his own microscope:

Anton van Leeuwenhoek.

5. Discovery and method:

He discovered bacteria, protozoa, etc. (microorganisms). He made his own high - quality single - lens microscopes and used them to observe samples like pond water, dental plaque, etc.

6. Name of discovery:

Animalcules (little animals).

7. English scientist for “cell” term:

Robert Hooke.

8. What he was looking at:

Cork (thin slices of cork from a plant).

9. Reason for “cells”:

The cork looked like small, empty rooms (cells) in a monastery, so he named them cells.

10. Making Newton mad:

Robert Hooke and Newton had disputes over scientific credit (e.g., in optics and other areas), and Hooke criticized Newton's work, leading to tension.

11. No image of Hooke:

There are no surviving portraits of Robert Hooke, likely due to historical loss or lack of documentation at the time.

(Note: For some questions, answers are based on standard cell theory history and the context of the video. If the video has specific details, they should be prioritized.)
