Answer: Plants and animals were made up of same basic structure, which provided support to the cell theory.

Explanation:

Matthias Schleiden stated that plant were composed of cells, and Schwann demonstrated the same fact for animal tissues. In 1839 Schleiden and Schwann formulated the cell theory which states that organisms are composed of cells, which is the smallest unit of life. This means all tissues are made up of cells.

The conclusion is that:

  1. All tissues are made of cells so all living organisms are composed of cells.
  2. A cell is the smallest and basic structural and functional unit of life.
  3. All cells arise from other cells, which already existed before.
