Question

a friend tells you he read somewhere that rotting garbage can turn into maggots which are fly larvae, and the maggots then can grow into adult flies. what part of the cell theory can you use to refute this claim?

Answer 1

I believe the part of the cell theory you can use to refute his claim is that cells are the smallest unit of life and more importantly that all cells come from other living cells.

Answer 2

The part of the cell theory that can be used to refute this claim is that all existing cells are produced by other living cells.

A cell simply means the basic building blocks of every living things. It should be noted that the human body has trillions of cells. The cell is important for the human body as it gives structure for the body and helps in the conversion of nutrients into energy.

Based on the question asked, rotting garbage can not turn into maggots. All cells are produced by other living organisms. Also, garbage isn't a living thing, therefore it can't turn into maggots.
