1 answer

The correct components of the cell theory are:

  1. All living things are made of cells.
  2. Cells are the basic unit of structure and function.

The first statement, "Cells are unique to each organism," is not a part of the cell theory, and the second statement, "Cells cannot come from other cells," is incorrect; the correct statement is that "all cells arise from pre-existing cells."
