Answer 1

The correct response is:

No, the student is not correct because all cells come from preexisting cells.

Cell theory states that:

1. The cell is the basic unit of life.
2. All living organisms are composed of cells.
3. All cells arise from preexisting cells (not spontaneously).

Therefore, the claim that all cells are created spontaneously is incorrect.
