II. What are the three components of cell theory?

1.all living things are composed of one or more cells

2.the cell is the basic unit of life

3.new cells arise from existing cells

III. How do you think the invention of the microscope influenced cell theory?

Hooke discovered the cell thanks to the development of the microscope. When
studying cork, Hooke noticed formations with a box-like shape that he dubbed
"cells" because they resembled the monastic cells or apartments. This finding
sparked the creation of the classical cell hypothesis.
