Question

All cells arise spontaneously.
c
All cells arise from preexisting cells.
d
All living things or organisms are made of cells.

Answer 1

The statement that is NOT part of the "Cell Theory" is:

b. All cells arise spontaneously.

Cell theory states that:

1. Cell is the basic structural and functional unit of life.
2. All living things or organisms are made of cells.
3. All cells arise from preexisting cells.

The idea that cells arise spontaneously is not supported by modern biology and is considered a misconception.
