What does “Cell theory” actually mean in Cell: The Unit of Life, and why does it matter for NEET?
all living organisms are made of cells, and every cell arises from a pre-existing cell.
In simple words: all living organisms are made of cells, and every cell arises from a pre-existing cell. Getting Cell theory clear matters because NEET questions on Cell: The Unit of Life usually test this idea directly, not just a formula you memorised.
Key point
Cell theory
Common mistake

Memory tip
Schleiden + Schwann said 'all life is cells'; Virchow added 'cells from cells'.
