What are Cells?
Every living thing is made of cells. It is estimated that the human body has between 60 and 90 trillion cells! Each of these tiny little parts has a function in our body. Some cells are for keeping us healthy, others are for transporting oxygen and others work together to help us move.
A cell is defined as: the basic unit of structure and function in a living thing. It is the smallest unit of life.

Cell Theory
Cell Theory
While observing dead cork samples with a crude lens, Robert Hooke identified and named “cells.” He thought that the small, simple units looked like the bare prison cells of his time, and the name cell stuck. His work launched a new frontier in scientific exploration that led to modern cell theory:
- All living things are made of cells.
- Cells are the basic units of structure and function in all living things.
- All cells come from the reproduction of existing cells.
