Cell Theory
- The main principle of the cell theory is that all living organisms are composed of one or more cells, which are the basic units of life.
- The cell theory consists of three main components: • All living organisms are composed of cells • Cells are the basic units of life • All cells arise from pre-existing cells
- The component that is NOT part of the cell theory is spontaneous generation, which is the outdated idea that living organisms can arise from non-living matter.
- The cell theory was developed by Matthias Jakob Schleiden and Theodor Schwann, two German scientists, in the 19th century.
