Question

Cell theory is based on a series of discoveries. In 1655, Robert Hooke coined the word "cell" from his investigations of cork cells. Almost two hundred years later, Schleiden and Schwann proposed the cell theory that states that:
All life forms are made from one or more cells.
The cell is the smallest form of life.

In 1859 Louis Pasteur's experimental work provided the data to add a third element to the theory. Pasteur's work included the study of microbes in the fermentation of beer and wine. This led to the process of pasteurization, which revolutionized the food industry. While studying the microbes involved with fermentation, Pasteur began to develop his theory of disease and the ability of these unseen pathogens to multiply.

Pasteur's research, in general, provided an important addition to cell theory. That is,
Responses
A	all diseases arise from cells.all diseases arise from cells.
B	cells give rise to other cells.cells give rise to other cells.
C	cells can be easily killed and made harmless.cells can be easily killed and made harmless.
D	sterilization and pasteurization both kill cells.

GPT-4o mini · Answer

The most accurate response that reflects an important addition to cell theory based on Pasteur's research is:

B: cells give rise to other cells.

This concept is consistent with the implication of studying microbes and their reproduction, thus connecting to a fundamental aspect of cell theory regarding the origin of cells.
