2.1.2 Discuss the evidence of the cell theory.


-Humans have not been able to find any living entity that is not made of at least one cell.
-After sterilizing chicken broth by boiling, Louis Pasteur showed that living organisms would not ‘spontaneously’ reappear. Only after exposure to pre-existing cells was life able to re-establish itself in the sterilized chicken broth.
-By looking through a microscope, Robert Hooke first described cells in 1665 while observing cork. Other scientists after him had made similar statements about cells.
