Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

All living things are made up of one or more cells.

Explanation:

The cell theory is a universal theory proposed by three scientists viz: Theodor Schwann, Mathias Scleiden, and Rudolf Virchow in the year 1838. These three scientists contributed to the cell theory and proposed the following:

1) All living things are composed of one or more cells

2) Cell is the basic and fundamental unit of life

3) New cells arise from pre-existing cells.

However, at an earlier date specifically 1665, an English scientist named Robert Hooke has discovered and coined the term "cells" in his published book by observing a piece of cork under a microscope. This Hooke's discovery of cells from a once living cork best supports the part of the cell theory that states that: All living things are made up of one or more cells.
