FUNDAMENTAL UNIT OF LIFE: CELL
Cell:
It is known as the structural and fundamental unit of life because it
is the basic building unit of an organism and is capable to perform
basic functions of all living organisms.
Cytology is the scientific study dedicated to understanding the
structure and composition of cells.
In 1665, Robert Hooke first observed cells in a thin slice of cork,
marking the beginning of our understanding of cellular existence.
A. V. Leeuwenhoek, in 1674, made the groundbreaking discovery of
the first free-living cell.
Protoplasm, the essential substance within cells, comprises water,
ions, salts, organic molecules, cell organelles, and a nucleus, existing
in sol-gel states.

Cell Theory:
The cell theory was given by Schleiden and Schwann, in 1838 which
EX
states that:
1.All living things are made up of cells.
2.The cell is the basic unit of structure and function in living
organisms.
3.Cells come from pre-existing cells through the process of cell
division.
