What sort of evidence must be gathered to support the idea that all living things are composed of cells?

• Comparisons should be made between non-living things and living things to determine any similarities in their structure.

• Samples of many kinds of living things should be examined under a microscope to identify the presence of cells.

• The functions of cells from many different living things should be monitored to see if they are identical.

• Non-living things should be examined to verify that the smaller parts of which they are composed are not cells.

Students examined the smaller structures of living things and non-living things. Which of the following observations provides evidence that the smaller parts of living things, and not the non-living things, are cells? Smaller parts of living things–

• cannot be seen with the unaided eye but require a microscope.
