How has cell theory evolved over time?
Cell theory has evolved significantly since its initial proposal in the 19th century by scientists like Matthias Schleiden and Theodor Schwann. Originally, cell theory stated that all living organisms are composed of cells and that cells are the basic unit of structure and function in living things. Over time, advancements in technology and scientific research have led to the discovery of organelles within cells, the understanding of cell division and differentiation, and the recognition of the importance of cell communication and interaction within organisms. Today, cell theory continues to evolve as new discoveries are made in the field of cell biology, shaping our understanding of the complexity and diversity of cells and their role in life processes.
