Specifically, he observed that “the lower plants all consist of one cell, while the higher ones are composed of (many) individual cells.”. In 1839 Theodor Schwann extended Schleiden’s cell theory to animals.
Feb 4, 2024 · In 1838, he published a landmark paper asserting that cells were the basic unit of plant life, and that each plant was ultimately produced from a single embryonic cell. As such, he was challenging the notion of spontaneous generation, which held that life somehow appeared from inorganic matter.
Nearly 200 years later, in 1838, Matthias Schleiden (1804–1881), a German botanist who made extensive microscopic observations of plant tissues, described them as being composed of cells. Visualizing plant cells was relatively easy because plant cells are clearly separated by their thick cell walls.
