Question

Robert Hooke observed

• A. living cells
• B. dead cells
• C. enucleated cells
• D. both b and c

Answer 1

The correct option is D both b and c

Robert Hooke observed a thin slice of cork under the microscope. He observed that cork is made up of tiny hollow compartments. Cells usually have a nucleus and cannot be hollow. As the cells in the cork were dead they lacked cytoplasm and nucleus. Hence, Robert Hooke observed dead enucleated cells under the microscope.
