Question

state the postulates of cell theory​

Answer 1

There are three postulates of the cell theory and they are: i) All living organisms are composed of cells. ii) The structure and functions of the cells are essentially the same. iii) The function of an organism is the result of the activities and interactions of constituents of the cell.

Answer 2

The scientific hypothesis that living beings are made up of cells, that cells are the basic structural/organizational unit of all organisms, and that all cells arise from pre-existing cells was initially proposed in the mid-nineteenth century. In all species, cells are the basic unit of structure and reproduction.

The following are the three tenets of the cell theory:

• There are one or more cells in every living thing.
• In organisms, the cell is the most fundamental unit of structure and organization.
• Pre-existing cells give rise to new ones.
