Question

relate the history of cell theory to the process of science. select all the examples that show how the development and application of cell theory was an iterative process. virchow applied the tenets of cell theory to pathology, the study of disease, and showed that diseases involve malfunction in normal cells. hooke and leeuwenhoek often tried to replicate each others scientific observations. this lent their microscopic observations credibility in the scientific community. schleidens research on plant cells inspired schwann to conduct similar research on animal tissues. leeuwenhoek made great strides in improving the microscope but was notoriously secretive. he never divulged his methods for making lenses.

Explanation:

• Virchow's application of cell - theory to pathology shows how ideas are built upon and applied in new areas.
• Hooke and Leeuwenhoek replicating each other's observations is part of the scientific process of verification.
• Schleiden inspiring Schwann demonstrates the iterative nature of scientific research as one study leads to another. Leeuwenhoek's secrecy does not relate to the iterative process of cell - theory development.

Answer:

• Virchow applied the tenets of cell theory to pathology, the study of disease, and showed that diseases involve malfunction in normal cells.
• Hooke and Leeuwenhoek often tried to replicate each other's scientific observations. This lent their microscopic observations credibility in the scientific community.
• Schleiden's research on plant cells inspired Schwann to conduct similar research on animal tissues.
