Mission 1 History of Biology Mission 1 of the game‚ “History of Biology” is on the scientist‚ Zacharias Janssen‚ who was born in 1580. Janssen was a Dutch spectacle-maker from Middelburg‚ credited with inventing the first microscope‚ which at the time was a tremendous increase in technology and allowed for detailed drawing‚ sketching‚ and recording. His microscope was very simple‚ hand-held‚ and consisted of three draw tubes with lenses inserted into the ends of the flanking tubes. The lens for

The cell theory‚ or cell doctrine‚ states that all organisms are composed of similar units of organization‚ called cells. The concept was formally articulated in 1839 by Schleiden & Schwann and has remained as the foundation of modern biology. The idea predates other great paradigms of biology including Darwin’s theory of evolution (1859)‚ Mendel’s laws of inheritance (1865)‚ and the establishment of comparative biochemistry (1940).

Since Galileo began using a rudimentary compound microscope in 1609‚ whole new ranges of objects not known to even exist were discovered from that basic piece of technology. The microscope played the key role in discovering cells‚ and as it advanced with technology‚ so too did the cell theory. In 1665‚ scientist Robert Hooke used a microscope to look at slices of cork. He noticed that the cork was divided up into hundreds of tiny little compartments that he named cells. Hooke was the first person

also invented the process of canning. F. Food microbiology is the study of the microorganisms that inhabit‚ create‚ or contaminate food. This includes the study of microorganisms that cause food spoilage. IV. Theodor Schwann (Dec. 7‚ 1810- Jan. 11‚ 1882) G. Schwann identified the role played by microorganisms in alcohol fermentation and putrefaction processes. He also came up with the “cell theory”‚ which states that all living things are composed of cells. H. Microbiology

environment.” (Futuyma‚ 2004) Inheritance is the theory initiated by Gregor Mendel who studied how offspring carry traits of biological parents. Any organism that is composed of similar units of organization is a cell. Matthias Schleiden and Theodor Schwann proposed the cell theory. Biological classification is the classification of living organisms. Bioenergetics is the theory that the same energy powers both living and inanimate objects. Homeostasis is the theory that in order to maintain equilibrium

The observations of Hooke‚ Leeuwenhoek‚ Schleiden‚ Schwann‚ Virchow‚ and others led to the development of the cell theory. The cell theory is

In BBC’s film The Cell: The Hidden Kingdom Dr. Rutherford takes the viewer on a scientific quest to find the secrets of the cell‚ a story that is often left untold. For this reason (because it contains important information that is generally unknown) it is absolutely necessary and I highly recommend for everyone to watch it. At first the film may sound unappealing to some who don’t enjoy these sorts of films but that is probably because the film’s title is rather generic and as a result it may deter

Neurophysiology has been a subject of study since as early as 4‚000 B.C. In the early B.C. years‚ most studies were of different natural sedatives like alcohol and poppy plants. In 1700 B.C.‚ the Edwin Smith surgical papyrus was written. This papyrus was crucial in understanding how the ancient Egyptians understood the nervous system. This papyrus looked at different case studies about injuries to different parts of the body‚ most notably the head. Beginning around 460 B.C.‚ Hippocrates began
