The student is not correct in stating that all cells are created spontaneously. According to cell theory, the cell is indeed the basic unit of life, but it specifically states that all cells come from pre-existing cells through the process of cell division. This means that new cells are not formed spontaneously; instead, they arise from the division of existing cells. Here’s a summary of the key points of cell theory:
- All living organisms are composed of one or more cells.
- The cell is the basic unit of life.
- All cells arise from pre-existing cells.
So, the correct statement would be that the student is not correct because all cells come from pre-existing cells, not spontaneously.
