Question
the cell theory includes all of these concepts except
○ all cells come from the division of preexisting cells.
○ cells are the building blocks of all organisms.
○ every cell is capable of living on its own if isolated from the body.
○ cells are the smallest units that carry out the essential functions of life.
○ each cell maintains homeostasis at the cellular level.
The cell theory states that all living organisms are composed of cells (cells as building blocks), cells come from pre - existing cells, cells are the basic unit of life (smallest units for essential life functions), and cells maintain homeostasis. However, not every cell can live on its own when isolated from the body. For example, cells in a multicellular organism are specialized and depend on the organism's internal environment. So the concept that every cell is capable of living on its own if isolated from the body is not part of cell theory.
