i am pretty sure the answer is A

Isiah Bauer · Answer 2

All cells require ATP for energy

Explanation:

The first three statements are related to cell theory as they consider the cell as the structural and functional brick for living cells ("All living things are made of cells" and "Cells are the basic unit of function in living things") or describe a biological mechanism to explain the continuity of life ("All cells come from other cells"). The discovery of the fact that "All cells require ATP for energy" does not directly provide specific evidence for supporting the cell theory as this theory could be valid even if ATP wouldn't be the chemical energy source for the cell.
