Answer 2

The first cell theory is credited to the work of Theodor Schwann and Matthias Jakob Schleiden 

The first man to witness a live cell under a microscope was Anton von Leeuwenhoek, who in 1674 discovered free living cells in pond water

Hooke's drawings show the detailed shape and structure of a thinly sliced piece of cork. When it came time to name these chambers he used the word 'cell' to describe them, because they reminded him of the bare wall rooms where monks lived. These rooms were called cells.
