The Cell Theory is
composed of three different properties, all three of which describe what cells
are. If you delve deeper into the three properties, you will even see how and
why they are this way.
1.
All cells come from different cells
a.
This means that a cell is replicated to double the
amount every time it occurs. I.e. 2-4-8-16-32 etc… This is how living things
grow
2.
A cell is the basic unit of life
a.
Anything less that a cell is not considered to be alive,
but when all the parts are combined, then life happens. I.e. A puzzle is a
puzzle until it gets solved, then it becomes a picture.
3.
All living things are made of cells
a.
Anything that has cells is considered living. This
ranges from single celled organisms to flowers to human beings. We are all
composed of these microscopic building blocks known as cells.
Many scientists were
in a sort of competition to find out more about cells. Many theories were
disproved or reinforced and the advancement of technology made it easier and
easier to make new discoveries. The idea of cell theory came about after the
invention of the microscope. There were many different variations, and all
proved effective in finding out more about our microscopic world. This is what
led to the discovery of cells.
