Cell Theory, established in the 19th century by scientists Schleiden, Schwann, and Virchow, defines that all living organisms are composed of one or more cells, which are the basic units of life. It states that cells arise from pre-existing cells through division, ensuring life's continuity. This theory has significantly advanced biology and medicine by enhancing our understanding of life forms, from bacteria to complex organisms.

Task 1: Read the given passage about the Cell theory and answer the questions.

(Skill : Extraction and translation of information) )


Robert Hooke was an English scientist who coined the term "cell" after observing cork under a
microscope. Cell Theory, a cornerstone of biology, elucidates the fundamental principles governing
life. Proposed in the 19th century by scientists Matthias Schleiden, Theodor Schwann, and Rudolf
Virchow, it revolutionized our understanding of living organisms. All living things are composed of
one or more cells. Cells are the basic structural and functional units of life, each capable of carrying
out essential functions necessary for survival. Moreover, cells arise from pre-existing cells through
the process of cell division, ensuring continuity of life. This theory provides a framework for
understanding the diversity and complexity of life forms, from microscopic bacteria to intricate
multicellular organisms like plants and animals. By recognizing the universal significance of cells,
Cell Theory has laid the groundwork for countless advancements in biology and medicine, shaping
our understanding of the natural world and our own existence.
