Aside from Lamarck's contributions to evolutionary theory, his works on invertebrates represent a great advance over existing classifications; he was the first to separate the Crustacea, and Annelida from the "Insecta." His classification of the mollusks was far in advance of anything proposed previously; Lamarck broke with tradition in removing the tunicates and the barnacles from the . He also anticipated the work of Schleiden & Schwann in cell theory in stating that: . . . no body can have life if its constituent parts are not cellular tissue or are not formed by cellular tissue."
One scientist who did not make a major contribution to cell theory was Lamarck. While Lamarck made significant contributions to evolution with his theory of inheritance of acquired characteristics, his work did not significantly impact the development of cell theory.
Gregor Mendel did not contribute to cell theory. Mendel is known for his work in genetics and the study of inheritance through experiments with pea plants. Cell theory was formulated by scientists like Matthias Schleiden, Theodor Schwann, and Rudolf Virchow.
Aristotle did not directly contribute to cell theory, as this theory was developed much later in the 19th century. However, his work on biology did lay the foundation for understanding organisms and their structures, which later contributed to the development of cell theory. Aristotle's ideas about the structure and function of organisms helped guide early scientists in their studies of cells.
Schwann
Theodor Schwann contributed to the cell theory in the 1830s. Alongside Matthias Schleiden, he proposed that all living organisms are composed of cells, which led to the formulation of the cell theory.

The name of the theory that Schleiden and Schwann developed is the cell theory.
Lamarck proposed an hypothesis that had species evolving desired traits and passing them to their offspring. For example, if you were a bodybuilder, your offspring would be born with larger than normal muscles. This hypothesis, while incorrect, was still significant in the history of evolutionary thought.
He said that cells can reproduce cell

he stated that the cell is a structural unit of an organism.

Zacharias Janssen did not contribute to the cell theory. He is credited with inventing the first compound microscope in the late 16th century with his father, Hans Janssen. This invention was crucial for the development of cell theory by later scientists.
