  • Formulation Of Cell Theory

    Formulation Of Cell Theory

    Theodor Schwann and Matthias Schleiden come together to create the first version of Cell Theory.
    1. The cell is the unit of structure, physiology, and organization of living things.
    2. The cell retains a dual existance as a distinct entity and a building block of living things.
    3. All cells only arise from pre-existing cells. Rhoads, Dan; Nov 5, 2007; "Bitesize Bio", Retrieved Sept 20, 2015 History Of Cell Biology
  • Modern Cell Theory

    Modern Cell Theory

    1. All living things are made up of cells.
    2. The cell is structural & functional unit of all living things.
    3. All cells come from pre-existing cells by division.
    4. Cells contains hereditary information which is passed from cell to cell.
    5. All cells are basically the same in composition.
    6. All energy flow of life occurs within cells.
