Anton van Leeuwenhoek
Considered the father of microbiology, he was the first scientist to speak of single-celled organisms. Among the organisms he observed are blood cells. -
Robert Hooke
Hooke coined the term cell. He studied microscopic fossils, which allowed him to advance the theory of biological evolution. He was a successful author, with the publication of his book Micrographia, which included illustrations of microscopic images. -
Carlos Linneo
Developed the binomial nomenclature to classify and organize animals and plants. Presented his new taxonomic proposal for the animal, plant and mineral kingdoms. https://study.com/academy/lesson/carolus-linnaeus-classification-taxonomy-contributions-to-biology.html -
Antoine Lavoisier
He showed that in a reaction, the amount of matter is always the same at the end and at the beginning of the reaction. These experiments provided evidence for the law of conservation of matter. https://youtu.be/55yJPs-_R1w -
