Cells are the basic and smallest unit of life. This is the building block of life and this is discovered by the biologist Robert Hooke which was the first to coin the word "cell" to describe microscopic organisms. Thus, cells are therefore microscopic unit of life that can only be seen through a microscope.
Where did CELL derive its name?
As I've said before, the word "cell" is coined by Robert Hooke. It came from the Latin word, "cellula" which means "small room". The word itself describes the cell as a small room that contains organelles for function.
Types of Cells
There are two types of cells:
- the eukaryotic cells; and
- the prokaryotic cells.
