  • What are the main ideas of the cell theory?
    All living things are made of cells, the cell is the basic unit of life, and cells come from pre-existing cells.
  • What three statements make up the cell theory?
    1. All organisms are made of cells. 2. The cell is the basic unit of life. 3. Cells arise only from pre-existing cells.
  • What was Leeuwenhoek's contribution to the cell theory?
    He was the first to observe live cells, showing that cells are living entities.
  • What three statements make up the cell theory?
    1. All organisms are composed of one or more cells. 2. The cell is the basic unit of life. 3. Cells arise only from pre-existing cells.
  • What did Francesco Redi contribute to the cell theory?
    Redi's experiments helped disprove spontaneous generation, supporting the idea that life does not arise from non-living matter.
  • What did Anton van Leeuwenhoek contribute to the cell theory?
    He was the first to observe and describe live cells using a microscope.
  • What is the second principle of cell theory?
    The cell is the basic unit of life.
  • What did Louis Pasteur contribute to the cell theory?
    Louis Pasteur's experiments further disproved spontaneous generation, supporting the idea that cells arise from pre-existing cells.
  • What was Rudolf Virchow's contribution to the cell theory?
    He established that cells arise only from pre-existing cells.
  • What did Leeuwenhoek do for the cell theory?
    He observed and described live cells, advancing cell biology.
  • What was Anton van Leeuwenhoek's contribution to the cell theory?
    He was the first to observe live cells using a microscope with high magnification.
  • What was Zacharias Janssen's contribution to the cell theory?
    Zacharias Janssen is credited with inventing the compound microscope, which enabled the discovery and study of cells.
  • What are the main points of cell theory?
    All organisms are made of cells, the cell is the basic unit of life, and cells arise only from pre-existing cells.
