The document outlines the development of cell theory, which states that all living things are made up of cells. It describes how the invention of the compound microscope in the 1500s allowed Hans and Zacharias Janssen to observe cells for the first time. It also explains how cell theory helped establish that cells are the basic unit of structure and function for all living things and categorized cells into eukaryotic and prokaryotic types. Finally, it discusses how understanding that organisms are made of cells provides insights into life processes like growth, reproduction, and disease.

Cell Theory Explanantion: Knowing that all living things are made up of cells allows us to understand how organisms are created, grow, and die. That information helps us understand how new life is created, why organisms take the form they do, how cancer spreads, how diseases can be managed, and more. The discovery of the cell has had a far greater impact on science than Hooke could have ever dreamed in 1665. In addition to giving us a fundamental understanding of the building blocks of all living organisms, the discovery of the cell has led to advances in medical technology and treatment.
