Answer:

Matthias Schleiden and Theodor Schwann

Step-by-step explanation:

Though Robert Hooke discovered the cells he didn't know what he was looking at. It wasn't until later until Matthias Schleiden, Theodor Schwann, and lesser recognized Rudolf Virchow developed the cell theory stating that the cell is the universal unit of life.
