6) What is cell theory? 3
7) Case study : (1×4=4)

The cell theory, that all the plants and animals are composed of cells and that the cell is
the basic unit of life, was presented by two biologists, German zoologist Schleiden
(1838) and British zoologist Schwann (1839). The cell theory was further expanded by
Virchow (1855) by suggesting that all cells arise from pre-existing cells. With the
discovery of the electron microscope in 1940, it was possible to observe and understand
the complex structure of the cell and its various organelles.
