    The History of Cell Biology

    This document explores the history and development of cell biology, including the discovery of cells and the
    formulation of cell theory. It covers key scientists and their contributions to our understanding of cellular
    structure in living things.

    Discovery of Cells and Cell Theory
    Both living and nonliving things are made of atoms, molecules, and compounds. How are living and nonliving
    things different? The discovery of the cell was an important step toward answering this question.

    All living things are made up of one or more cells. A cell is the smallest unit that can carry on all of the processes of
    life. Beginning in the 17th century, curious naturalists were able to use microscopes to study objects too small to
    be seen with the unaided eye. Their studies led them to propose the cellular basis of life.
