Question

state the postulates of cell theory

Answer 1

POSTULATES OF CELL THEORY ARE:
1. ALL LIVING ORGANISMS ARE COMPOSED OF ONE OR MORE CELLS.
2. CELLS ARE BASIC UNITS OF STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION IN ALL ORGANISMS.
3. ALL CELLS COME FROM PRE-EXISTING CELLS.
4. THE ACTIVITY OF ENTIRE ORGANISM DEPENDS ON TOTAL ACTIVITY OF ITS INDEPENDENT CELLS.

Answer 2

The Cell Theory was proposed by "Matthias Schleiden" and "Theodor Schwann" in 1839.

Postulates of cell theory are:

• All "organisms are brought into existence" by a smallest unit known as a cell.
• These living cells formed by "division of preexisting cells".
• Living cells are the "fundamental unit" of any structure.
• They function in "all living creatures" whereas the activity of a creature depends on the "total activity of independent cells".
