Robert hooke: Discovery of cells; observed cells for first time, used the term "cell".

Anton van Leeuwenhoek: first to observe living cells.

Anton van Leeuwenhoek was the first one to observe the living cells with help of lens made by him. He used the lens to magnify the image. He was observed bacterial, blood and sperm cells. He also observed protists and was among the first scientists to observe the presence of cells in animals.

Answer:

Answered below

Explanation:

Cell membranes are barriers which protect and regulate the movement of substances in and out of the cells. It is a semi-permeable and selective structure.

In the passive transport system, substances move along a concentration gradient and it doesn't require energy. The examples of passive transports include; simple diffusion which transports carbon dioxide and oxygen, osmosis and facilitated diffusion which transports charged molecules like ions, sucrose etc.

In active transport, substances move against the concentration gradient. This requires energy. The two main types are: primary active transport, which uses direct metabolic energy e.g Na+/K+ pump, and the secondary active transport system which couples the transported molecules with another molecule moving along the gradient, example the Na+/glucose transporter.
