Answer:
The cell theory was first proposed by Theodor Schwann, a German physician, in the year 1838, and Matthias Schleiden, a German botanist, in the year 1839. It stated the following:
- All living organisms are composed of cells.
- The Cell is the basic structural and functional unit of all living beings.
- The function of an organism is the outcome of the combined activities of the cells.
Later, in 1858, it was modified by Rudolf Virchow, another German physician. He published the statement, "Omnis cellula e cellula" on the basis of his observations which translates to "All cells arise from pre-existing cells". His point, i.e.,
- All cells arise from pre-existing cells.
is now added to the Cell Theory we learn about today.
