The fundamental building blocks of life are cells. No matter how large or little, straightforward or complex, the cell hypothesis holds true for all living things. Cells are believed to be a component of all living things, hence they can reveal information about all life.
Schleiden and Schwann advocated spontaneous generation (also known as abiogenesis) as the mechanism for cell origination, but spontaneous generation was later demonstrated to be false. The famous phrase "Omnis cellula e cellula" by Rudolf Virchow "Only pre-existing cells can give rise to new ones." However, the portions of the hypothesis unrelated to how cells first formed withstood scientific investigation and are currently accepted by the majority of scientists. The following are the elements of contemporary cell theory that are commonly acknowledged:
The basic unit of structure and function in living things is the cell.
One or more cells make up every living thing.
Through cellular division, new cells are created from existing ones.
