Cells are the fundamental structural and functional units of living organisms and are the basic unit of life.
CELL THEORY
In 1838, Jakob Matthias Schleiden (1804-1881), a German botanist, first proposed the idea that all plants consists of cells. A year later, in 1839, Theodor Schwann (1810-1882), a German zoologist, independently asserted that all animals and plants are made up of cells.
This joint finding forms the basic of cell theory.
The cell theory was refined further in 1885, when another Germany biologist, R.Virchow presented the idea that all cells arise from pre-existing cells ( His aphorism was ('Omnis Cellulae a cellula').
