Tumu’s class was given an assignment to feature a scientist that contributed to the development of the cell theory. The class de
cided to use images to feature the scientist of their choice. Which image would Tumu most likely use in his assignment to feature Rudolf Virchow?
the magnified shapes of cells in a piece of cork
the different cells that make up a plant leaf
the types of cells at work in the human body
the way root cells reproduce to increase root length
Rudolf Virchow was a German physician who is known as the father of modern pathology. He contributed to the development of the cell theory by concluding that all cells come from preexisting cells. This led to the conclusion that diseases occur at the cellular level, which allowed scientists to diagnose diseases more accurately.
Considering that Virchow analyzed human cells, the image that Tumu would be most likely to use in his assignment is the one of the types of cells at work in the human body.
