    Study Notes

    Cell Discovery and Theory

    • Antonie van Leeuwenhoek is largely attributed with the discovery of cells.

    Impact of Cell Discovery

    • The discovery of cells led to a fundamental shift in understanding the structure and function of living organisms.

    Cell Theory

    • Cell theory proposes that all living things are composed of one or more cells, cells are the basic units of life, and all cells arise from pre-existing cells.

    Contributions of Schleiden and Schwann

    • Matthias Schleiden and Theodor Schwann discovered that all plants and animals are composed of cells, and that cells are the basic units of life.

    Debate in Cell Theory

    • A point of disagreement among some biologists regarding cell theory is the concept of spontaneous generation, which suggests that cells can arise from non-living matter, contradicting the idea that all cells arise from pre-existing cells.
