Cell Theory
The theory is one of the major theories in science
because it tells the most important description of
a cell. It is also very important because it was
not observations of one person, but many
scientists. Some of them were Schleidan,
Schwann, and Virchow.
The cell theory is…
1. All organisms are made up of cells.
2. Cells are the basic unit of structure and
function in all organisms.
3. All cells come from cells that already exist.
