Question

question 1 - 10
according to the cell theory, which of the following best describes the role of cells in living organisms?
cells are the basic building blocks of all living organisms.
cells make up the tissues that are present in all forms of life.
cells are produced spontaneously when living organisms need them.
cells contain the same specialized organelles required for life in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms.

Explanation:

Cell theory states that all living things are composed of cells, and cells are the basic unit of life. The first option aligns with this. The second option is incorrect as not all life forms have tissues (e.g., single - celled organisms). The third option is wrong because cells come from pre - existing cells (not spontaneous generation). The fourth option is incorrect as prokaryotic cells lack many organelles (like mitochondria) that eukaryotic cells have.

Answer:

Cells are the basic building blocks of all living organisms.
