Question

What Englishman named dead cork cells after rooms in a Catholic monastery?

Answer 1

Answer:

The Englishman who named dead cork as "cells" after rooms in a Catholic monastery is called Robert Hooke.

He did this while studying dead cork and saw the surrounding walls.  He remembered that cellula (rooms for monks) looked exactly like these surrounding walls of dead cork and he decided to name them similarly.

Explanation:

The 17th-century scientist and Englishman, Robert Hooke was famous for observing the natural world. As he was studying some dead cork using a microscope in 1665, he discovered their cells, which looked like the cellula of monasteries.  Cells, according to biological sciences, are the smallest structural and functional unit of an organism.
