Detailed explanation-1: -What sort of evidence would support at least one of the components of the cell theory? Rocks and other nonliving things are not composed of cells. Cells are observed converting one form of energy into another. A microscope is necessary to make observations of nearly all cells.
Detailed explanation-2: -All organisms are made up of cells. Evidence: If you observe organisms under the microscope, they consistently appear to be made up of cells.
Detailed explanation-3: -The invention of the microscope led to the discovery of the cell by Hooke. While looking at cork, Hooke observed box-shaped structures, which he called “cells” as they reminded him of the cells, or rooms, in monasteries. This discovery led to the development of the classical cell theory.
Detailed explanation-4: -The three scientists that contributed to the development of cell theory are Matthias Schleiden, Theodor Schwann, and Rudolf Virchow. A component of the cell theory is that all living things are composed of one or more cells. A component of the cell theory is that the cell is the basic unit of life.
