SC.912. . L.14.1 To help patients replenish bodily fluids quickly during an illness, doctors need to understand how cells behave in their environment. Doctors have confidence in what they know about how cells behave because

• cell theory has been tested, refined, and observed to be true over hundreds of years

• large medical institutions have conducted their own experiments justifying cell theory

• the basics of cell theory have not changed much since the original experiments

• what we know about cell theory has been published in reputable journals

SC. 912.L.14.1 Which of the following best summarizes why the technological invention of microscopes was important to biology?

• It allowed for development of the cell theory.

• It created a means of funding for cell research.

• It created public interest and support for research.

• It proved that cells could form spontaneously.
