In the development of the cell theory, Schleiden and Schwann did not study prokaryotes. Why might

this have limited their understanding of cells? What will be an ideal response?


Prokaryotes are the most common of cells. By not understanding them, they could have missed
something very important. Fortunately, the cell theory was stated broadly enough that this was not a
problem and subsequent research shows prokaryotes are not an exception to this theory.
