The three parts of cell theory are:

• All living things are made of cells, cells are the basic unit of life, and all cells come from pre-existing cells.

• Cells are only found in animals, cells do not divide, and cells are not the basic unit of life.

• All living things are made of tissues, tissues are made of organs, and organs are made of cells.

• Cells can live independently, cells do not reproduce, and cells are not necessary for life.

The two main types of cells are:

• Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic

• Animal and Plant

• Red and White

• Somatic and Germ
