   Read the passage carefully and answer the questions given below:

   Unlike the popular narrative suggested by English historians, who claimed that Jahangir was a tyrant, the latest historically credits him as a highly learned man who was interested in subjects like botany and zoology. Similarly, Europe, the Renaissance of the fourteenth-seventeenth centuries heralded a scientific revival during which botany gradually emerged from natural history as an independent science, distinct from medicine and agriculture. Herbals were replaced by floras: books that described the native plants of local regions. The invention of the microscope stimulated the study of plant anatomy and the first carefully designed experiments in plant physiology were performed. Galileo Galilei, Johannes Keplar and Isaac Newton were a few known scientists of that era.

   1. With the expansion of trade and exploration beyond Europe, the many new plants being discovered were subjected to an increasingly rigorous process of naming, description and classification. Identify the plants classified and given scientific names during that time.
   2. The invention of the microscope stimulated the study of plant anatomy. who invented the microscope and when? How did the invention bring light to plant anatomy?
