Which of the following statements is NOT part of the Cell Theory"? A. All cells arise from preexisting cells B. All living things or organisms are made of cells. C. Cell is the basic structural and functional unit of life. D. All cells arise spontaneously

Answer 1

The statement that is NOT part of the Cell Theory is:

D. All cells arise spontaneously.

Cell Theory states that all living things are made of cells, cells are the basic structural and functional unit of life, and all cells arise from preexisting cells. Spontaneous generation is a discredited biological theory that life can arise from non-living matter, which contradicts the Cell Theory.
