Cells Are The Basic Unit of Life.: Key Concept

The cell theory states that all living things are made of cells, cells come only from pre-existing cells, and cells are the basic unit of structure and function of living things. The cell theory was developed based on early microscopic observations of cells and their internal structures by many scientists over time as microscope technology improved. There are two main types of cells - eukaryotic cells, which have a nucleus, organelles and other internal structures, and prokaryotic cells, which lack a nucleus and internal structures.
