Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the historical context: Robert Hooke was one of the first scientists to use a microscope to observe and describe cells.
Recall that Hooke's observations were made in the 17th century, and he described the structure of cells as 'little boxes' or 'cells' based on what he saw.
Identify the specimen Hooke examined: he looked at thin slices of cork bark under his microscope.
Recognize that cork bark is a plant material composed of dead cells with visible cell walls, which Hooke described as cells.
Conclude that the first cells identified by Robert Hooke were in cork bark, not in DNA, mitochondria, or microorganisms.
