2.Schleiden and Schwann, as well as Virchow, are generally seen as the founders of the cell theory, due to their pioneering scientific work in the 1800s. The cell theory is important because it affects nearly every aspect of biology, from our understanding of life and death, to how we manage diseases, and more.
3.Cell theory states that living things are composed of one or more cells, that the cell is the basic unit of life, and that cells arise from existing cells.
4.Because most cells are too small to be seen by the naked eye, the study of cells has depended heavily on the use of microscopes. ... Thus, the cell achieved its current recognition as the fundamental unit of all living organisms because of observations made with the light microscope.
5.The cell theory states that all biological organisms are composed of cells; cells are the unit of life and all life come from preexisting life. The cell theory is so established today that it forms one of the unifying principles of biology.
