A scientific theory refers to a well-substantiated illustration of some characteristic of the natural world, on the basis of a number of facts, which have been repeatedly confirmed via the experiment and observation. Such fact-supported theories are not hypotheses, however, are reliable explanations of the real world.

During the late 1830s, the zoologist Schwann and the botanist Schleiden were examining tissues and postulated the unified cell theory. According to the unified cell theory, all the living things comprises of one or more cells, the cell is the fundamental unit of life, and the new cells originate from the pre-existing cells.
