Question

when cells are damaged, new cells are created by cell a process called cell division. how does the cell theory support this fact? it states that all living things are made up of one or more cells. it states that cells come from previously existing cells. it states that the basic units of structure and function are cells. it states that all cells have a nucleus which divides

Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze each option based on cell theory:

• The yellow option (all living things are made of one or more cells) is about the composition of living things, not cell creation.
• The purple option (cells come from previously existing cells) directly relates to cell division creating new cells from old ones, supporting the fact that damaged cells are replaced by new cells via division (new cells from existing cells).
• The orange option (cells are basic units of structure/function) doesn't address cell creation.
• The teal option is incorrect (not all cells have a nucleus, e.g., prokaryotes) and doesn't relate to cell creation.

Answer:

B. It states that cells come from previously existing cells.
