Explanation

T.H. Huxley, the prominent 19th-century biologist, famously described protoplasm as 'the physical basis of life' in his 1868 address to the British Association. This concept emphasized that living matter had a physical, material basis rather than a vitalistic one. Leeuwenhoek discovered microorganisms, Virchow formulated cell theory, and J.C. Bose worked on plant physiology.
