The cell theory was first proposed by a German physician and botanist named Matthias Jakob Schleiden and a German physiologist and zoologist named Theodor Schwann in 1839.
The three parts of the cell theory are as follows:
1) All living organisms are composed of one or more cells, which are the basic unit of life.
2) Cells are the product of processes such as reproduction, metabolism, growth, and heredity that occur within them.
3) Cells contain genetic information in the form of DNA, which is passed on from cell to cell during the processes of reproduction and heredity.
