  • Q10
    Which statement is part of the cell theory?
    Only plants are composed of cells
    Only animals are composed of cells
    All living organisms are composed of one or more cells
    Non-living things are composed of cells
    30s
  • Q11
    What are the three main principles of the cell theory?
    Only animals are composed of cells, cells are the smallest living units, and all cells come from non-living matter
    Cells are capable of self-replication, cells contain multiple nuclei, and some cells can form without pre-existing cells
    Cells are made up of non-living material, all cells have a nucleus, and cells determine an organism's physical characteristics
    All organisms are composed of one or more cells, the cell is the basic unit of life, and all cells come from pre-existing cells
