Welcome back. Here's our next question what invention led to the discovery of the cell. So let's look through our answers here. Uh Choice A says telescope, telescope obviously lets us see things too far away to be seen by the naked eye. So that's not our correct answer. Choice B says microscope. And yes, the microscope is what led to the discovery of the cell. Since it let us let us be able to see things too small to be seen with the naked eye, which lets scientists see that living things were made up of units called cells. Choice C. Just to be thorough here is periscope letting you see around obstacles. So not our correct answer. Choice D. Stethoscope letting you hear things amplifying sounds. So also not our correct answer. So which invention led to the discovery of the Cell Choice B microscope? So that was a nice straightforward one. Let's move on to the next video.
