Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Exceptions to cell theory are

1. Viruses: They contain only genetic material. Protoplasm is absent. Active or show signs of life only in a living cell

2. Coenocytic organisms: Vaucheria and fungi belonging to Phycomycetes are filamentous with continuous protoplasm and many nuclei, that is the filament is not divided typically into cells, with single nucleus that undergo division periodically.
