The correct answer is:
Option 2: Schleiden and Schwann
The Cell Theory was formulated by Matthias Schleiden and Theodor Schwann in the early 19th century. Their key contributions were:
Schleiden proposed that all plants are made up of cells.
Schwann extended this idea to animals, proposing that all animals are also composed of cells.
Together, they laid the foundation for the Cell Theory, which states that:
All living organisms are made of cells.
The cell is the basic unit of structure and function in living organisms.
All cells arise from pre-existing cells.
Thus, Schleiden and Schwann are credited with formulating the Cell Theory.
