Who opposed the idea the cell is an empty space bounded by thick wall?

Correct answer: C. Robert Brown

  • A. Lorenz Oken
  • B. Schwann
  • C. Robert Brown
  • D. Rudolph Virchow

Explanation

Robert Brown's discovery of the nucleus showed that a cell is not merely an empty space enclosed by a wall, because it contains an internal, organized structure. Students may choose Schwann because he helped formulate cell theory, but Brown's observation more directly opposed the empty-cell idea.
