Cell Theory Explanantion: Knowing that all living things are made up of cells allows us to
understand how organisms are created, grow, and die. That information helps us understand how
new life is created, why organisms take the form they do, how cancer spreads, how diseases can
be managed, and more.
The discovery of the cell has had a far greater impact on science than Hooke could have ever
dreamed in 1665. In addition to giving us a fundamental understanding of the building blocks of
all living organisms, the discovery of the cell has led to advances in medical technology and
treatment.
