Show us what you have already, then we can give you an idea where to look. We won’t write the paragraph for you.

I would think the info is in your biology text book. We don’t really do homework for people on this site.

i hope you don’t think that I’m trying to get out of my work. That’s offensive. and if you require proof, here’s what I have so far:
Haven’t you thought that cells were just part of everyday life, and have been that way forever? Well, actually there is a big history behind cells. Most cells are too small to be observed by the naked eye. Scientists first learned to use the power of magnifying lenses in the seventeenth century. Robert Hooke, (1635–1703), then invented the microscope. When he put the microscope on a piece of cork, he realized that the parts of the cork looked like the cells in a monastery. That’s where the term “cell” comes from. After some more advancement of the microscope, the theories, all living things are made of cells, and all cells are made from other cells, were established. good enough for ya?

Hey, we’re happy to help you with your homework! But I bet you can figure out for yourself some ways the discovery of cells changed the world. What are some contexts you hear the word “cells” in? Can you think of any other terms that you might hear a lot in the news that have to do with cells? ___ cells? Better yet, if you search for cells in http://news.google.com/, what kinds of articles do you see?

[mod says] The guidelines allow homework requests such as this. Pointing the OP in the right direction is a very reasonable approach. Please refrain from snarky/joke responses in the General Section.

why, it was the discovery of bacteria! and once that was discovered, it changed the mortality rate forever. You can easily make a whole paragraph about that

It allowed doctors to discover how the human body and other creatures mainly functioned. Know we can identify single celled organsims, and multi-celled organsims. Thanks to the discovery of cells.
