Cell theory drawbacks as we know that after the cell numerous inventions are made and many organisms are discovered at both micro level and macro level. All cells are produced by the division of preexisting cells. A good model is both as accurate as possible and as simple as possible, which makes it not only powerful but also easy to understand.
