B
The cell theory was proposed by Matthias Schleiden (1838) and Theodor Schwann (1839), after studying plants and animal cells independently. It states that:

  • All living organisms are made up of cells.

  • Cells arethe smallest units in a living organismthat can perform all the functions of life.

  • Rudolf Virchow in 1858 said "Omnis cellula-e-cellula", which means that all cells arise from the pre-existing cells only.


Cell wall is a rigid outer layer which is present in bacterial, fungal and plant cells, but not present in animal cells.
