Robert Hooke discovered_____________?
Correct answer: C. Cell
- A. Nucleus
- B. Mitochondria
- C. Cell
- D. DNA
Explanation
Robert Hooke examined a thin slice of cork in 1665 and observed many small box-like compartments, which he called cells. He did not discover the nucleus, mitochondria, or DNA, although these structures were identified later by other scientists. The most likely mistake is choosing the nucleus because it is a prominent cell structure.
