A. All cells arise from preexisting cells
B. All cells arise spontaneously

1 answer

The statement that is not a part of the cell theory is:

B. All cells arise spontaneously

The cell theory states that all living things are composed of cells, cells are the basic unit of life, and all cells arise from preexisting cells. The idea of spontaneous generation (that cells or organisms could arise from non-living matter) has been discredited.
