CELL: Introduction, Discovery, Size and Cell Theory -

Cell Theory:

  • In 1838, the German botanist Matthias Schleiden observed that all plants are made up of cells. 
  • In 1839, the German zoologist Theodor Schwann declared that all animals are composed of cells. 
  • These observations laid the foundation of the Cell Theory. 
  • Later, the German physician Rudolf Virchow stated Omnis cellula e cellula, that is, new cells arise from pre-existing cells. 

Based on these observations, the cell theory can be stated as:

  • All living organisms are made up of one or more cells.
  • Cells are the basic unit of structure and function of organisms.
  • Cells come only from preexisting cells because cells are self-reproducing.
