Cell Theory In biology‚ cell theory is a scientific theory that describes the properties of cells‚ the basic unit of structure in every living thing. The initial development of the theory‚ during the mid-17th century‚ was made possible by advances in microscopy; the study of cells is called cell biology. Cell theory states that new cells are formed from pre-existing cells‚ and that the cell is a fundamental unit of structure‚ function and organization in all living organisms. It is one of the

Cell Structure - Cell Organelles 1. What is cell theory? Cell theory asserts that the cell is the constituent unit of living beings. Before the discovery of the cell‚ it was not recognized that living beings were made of building blocks like cells. The cell theory is one of the basic theories of Biology. 2. Are there living beings without cells? Viruses are considered the only living beings that do not have cells. Viruses are constituted by genetic material (DNA or RNA) enwrapped by a protein

The Cell Theory The Cell Theory‚ formed by Anton van Leeuwenhoek‚ Robert Hooke‚ Matthias Schleiden‚ Theodore Schwann‚ and Rudolf Virchow‚ refers to the idea that cells are the basic unit of structure in every living organism. The theory justifies three principles: all living organisms are composed of one or more cells; the cell is the most basic unit of structure‚ function‚ and organization in all organisms; and all cells come from pre-existing‚ living cells. The formation of the cell theory started
