• 1. All living organisms are composed of cells. 2. The cell is the basic unit of structure and function in living organisms. 3. Cells arise from pre-existing cells.

• 1. All living organisms are composed of tissues. 2. The cell is the basic unit of energy production in living organisms. 3. Cells arise from spontaneous generation.

• 1. All living organisms are composed of atoms. 2. The cell is the smallest unit of structure and function in living organisms. 3. Cells arise from non-living matter.
