Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The ideas of all three scientists-Schwann, Schleiden, and Virchow-led to cell theory, which is one of the fundamental theories unifying all of biology.

Detailed explanation-2: -By the late 1830s, botanist Matthias Schleiden and zoologist Theodor Schwann were studying tissues and proposed the unified cell theory. The unified cell theory states that: all living things are composed of one or more cells; the cell is the basic unit of life; and new cells arise from existing cells.

Detailed explanation-3: -Credit for developing cell theory is usually given to three scientists: Theodor Schwann, Matthias Jakob Schleiden, and Rudolf Virchow. In 1839, Schwann and Schleiden suggested that cells were the basic unit of life. Their theory accepted the first two tenets of modern cell theory (see next section, below).
