Recall that classical cell theory was formulated in the 19th century by Schleiden, Schwann, and Virchow, and it established fundamental principles about cells.
Identify the core tenets traditionally stated in classical cell theory, which are usually summarized as three main parts.
These three parts are: (1) All living organisms are composed of one or more cells, (2) The cell is the basic unit of structure and organization in organisms, and (3) All cells arise from pre-existing cells.
Note that while there are additional concepts related to cells, the classical cell theory specifically emphasizes these three core tenets.
Therefore, the traditional number of core parts in classical cell theory is three.
