Options

  1. AAnton Von Leeuwenhoek : First saw and described a live cell
  2. BRudolf Virchow : First explained that new cells are formed from pre-existing cells
  3. CSinger and Nicolson : Proposed the fluid mosaic model of cell membrane
  4. DMatthias Schleiden : Concluded that the presence of cell wall is a unique character of plant cells

Correct answer

D. Matthias Schleiden : Concluded that the presence of cell wall is a unique character of plant cells

Step-by-step solution

Matthias Schleiden, a German botanist, observed that all plants are composed of different kinds of cells which form the tissues of the plant. It was Theodore Schwann, a British Zoologist, who studied different types of animal cells and also concluded, based on his studies on plant tissues, that the presence of cell wall is a unique character of the plant cells.
