3 Explanation - Cell Theory Modified Notes

All organisms are composed of cells. Cells are the smallest structural and functional units of life. All cells come from the division of existing cells. The cell theory states that cells are the basic unit of structure and function in living things and that new cells are produced from existing cells. Key figures in the development of cell theory included Robert Hooke, Anton van Leeuwenhoek, Mathias Schleiden, Theodor Schwann, and Rudolph Virchow.
