 All living things are made of cells.

All cells come from other preexisting cells.

Cells form through spontaneous generation.

 Cells are the basic structural and functional units of life.

Cells contain hereditary information.

It states that all cells have a nucleus which divides.

It states that all living things are made up of one or more cells.

It states that cells come from previously existing cells.

It states that the basic units of structure and function are cells.

all cells contain a nucleus 

metabolism (processing energy) occurs in cells

genetic (hereditary) info is passed from one cell to another

all cells have the same basic chemical composition (makeup)
