Although they are radically symmetrical,echinoderms are more closely related to human than to a jellyfish because they are biltarian.
The contribution of the body to cognition and control; In natural and artificial, agents are increasingly described as 'offloading computation from the brain to the body', the body is said to perform 'morphological computation'. The investigation of 4 characteristic cases of morphological computation in animals & robots show that the 'offloading' perspective is misleading. The contribution of body morphology to cognition and control is rarely computational. 1) Morphology that assists control & the rare cases 2) Morphology that assists perception 3) morphological computation proper, like reservoir computing where the body is actually used for computation, This result contributes to understanding of the relation between embodiment and computation: the question for robot design and cognitive science isn't whether computation is offloaded to the body; but to which extent the body facilitates cognition & control - how it contributes to the overall orchestration of intelligent behavior.
Answer:
Biology is the study of living things and their processes of life. Both Hooke and Van Leeuwenhoek made major, early contributions to biology.
Robert Hooke
Robert Hooke is best known for the discovery of the cell. Using a microscope, Hooke looked at the makeup of a piece of cork. Through the microscope, he saw box-like structures. What he saw would later be known as cell walls. He discovered that these structures were cells, the building blocks of all life.
His discovery and future research contributed greatly to the cell theory.
Anton van Leeuwenhoek
Leeuwenhoek made his discovery after Hooke, but it was still important. He is best known for the discovery of bacteria. Unlike Hooke, Leeuwenhoek did not study plant cells; instead, he focused on protists (like amoebas) and prokaryotes (like bacteria). For his work with unicellular organisms, he is often called the "Father of Microbiology."
