Question

I would like a pretty fast answer, please.

Scientists once thought that life spontaneously arose from nonliving things. It took extensive experimentation and the invention of new technology to confirm the tenets that now make up the cell theory. Now, we don't even question that cells are the basic units of life and only come from preexisting cells. What technology had the biggest impact on the development of the cell theory?

A) centrifuge

B) electrophoresis

C) microscope

D) telescope

Answer 1

Answer:

Microscope.

Explanation:

Microscopes were extremely influential in the development of cell theory, as they allow us to see down to the level of cells and observe them. Through process of elimination, we know it cannot be a telescope (used for observing large, far away objects) or a centrifuge (separates substances based on density). Electrophoresis is moreso used for DNA, and not for the entire cells.
