Question

Who wrote the book Micrographia, which contains some of the most beautiful drawings of microscopic observations ever made?
A. A V Leeuwenhoek
B. Robert Hooke
C. Sir Christopher Wren
D. Ivan Pavlov

Answer 1

Hint:- An English scientist who first visualised a microorganism using a microscope. When staring at a thin slice of cork, he contributed to the discovery of cells. He then concluded that cells live only in plants and fungi.

Complete step-by-step solution:-
Option A is incorrect. AV Leeuwenhoek laid the foundations of plant anatomy, as well as becoming the father of microbiology, and becoming an authority on animal reproduction. He noticed blood cells and microscopic nematodes, and studied wood and crystal structure. He invented and used the first practical microscopes to become, among other microscopic discoveries, the first person to see and describe bacteria.
Option B is correct. Micrographia or other physiological accounts of magnifying glasses produced by minute bodies. And follow-up findings and inquiries. Robert Hooke 's book about his observations through different lenses is a historically valuable book. As seen through microscopes, it is particularly noteworthy for being the first book to illustrate insects, plants, etc. The Royal Society's first major publication, published in January 1665, has become the first scientific best-seller, encouraging a strong public interest in the new science of microscopy. The biological word cell is also noteworthy for coining it.
Option C is incorrect. One of the most acclaimed English architects in history, as well as an anatomist, astronomer, geometer, and mathematician-physicist, was Sir Christopher Wren. While at Wadham College, he experimented with terrestrial magnetism and took part in medical experiments, conducting the first effective injection of a substance into the bloodstream (of a dog).
Option D is incorrect. Ivan Pavlov was a Russian physiologist known best in psychology for having discovered classical conditioning. Through his studies on the digestive systems of dogs, Pavlov found that the animals salivated naturally upon the introduction of food.
So, the correct answer is Option B.

Note:- The Law of Elasticity (or Hooke 's Law) was most notably discovered by Robert Hooke and he did a large amount of work on microbiology (he published a popular book called Micrographia, which included sketches under a microscope of various natural things).
