Answer:
(a) Rudolf Virchow
<1855) first explained that the cells divide and new cells are formedfrom the
pre-existing cells (omniscellula e cellula).
Virchow was the
first to demonstrate that the cell theory applies to diseased tissue as wellas
to healthy tissue. He also engaged his research in the fields of archeology
andanthropology.
(b)
Schleiden and Schwann observed the cells and cell membranes for the first time.
Theyproposed the cell theory which explains that the animal and plant cells are
composedof cells and product of cells.
Theodore
Schwann (1839) studied different types of animal cells and reported that cells
hada thin outer layer which is called as plasma membrane. Schleiden also
concluded on plant studies, i.e., the presence of cell wall is a unique
character of plant cells. Thus, theyproposed that plants and animals are
composed of cells and their products.
