The discovery of the cell was made possible by the invention of the microscope. In
1665, Robert Hooke first discovered and named the cell as he was observing dead
plant cell walls of cork under a microscope. Over the next century Matthias
Schleiden, Theodor Schwann, and Rudolph Virchow contributed to this work.
Eventually, in 1839, the cell theory was formulated. It states that living organisms
are composed of one or more cells, the cell is the basic unit of structure and
organization in organisms, and cells arise from pre-existing cells.
Only plants and animals are made of cells.
Only animals are made of cells.
All organisms are made of cells.
Only Eukarya are made of cells.
