Before the discovery of cells, people believed in the theory of spontaneous generation. According to this theory, living things

can come from nonliving things. On the basis of this theory, people believed that maggots that formed on cheese spontaneously arose from the cheese. Which two statements disprove this theory of spontaneous generation?
All matter is made of cells.
All living things are made of cells.
Cells are generally microscopic and impossible to detect with the naked eye.
Living cells can only come from previously existing matter.
Cells form from previously existing cells.

The two statements that disapproves the theory of spontaneous generation are:

All living things are made of cells.

Living cells can only come from previously existing matter.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The theory of Spontaneous generation mainly focuses on the fact that Living organisms does not depends on the similar organisms for its regeneration. It states that the living organisms can also be generated by even any non living matters.For examples fleas can be generated from the place where there are dust.  

Dead flesh of any thing can lead to the formation of Maggots. With these example we can conclude that Living cells can only come from previously existing matter is not related to the spontaneous generation theory. The statement that says that all living organisms are made of cells also not associated with this theory.

A mutant strain of yeast is able to produce 2 ATP for each glucose molecule digested in the absence of oxygen. What makes this s
Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

Explanation:

Normally, under anaerobic condition in yeast, pyruvate produced from glycolysis leads to the production of ethanol as shown below.

pyruvate ⇒ acetaldehyde + NADH ⇒ ethanol + NAD

The pyruvate is converted to acetaldehyde by the enzyme, pyruvate decarboxylase. It should be NOTED that carbon dioxide is released in this step. The acetaldehyde produced in the "first step" is then converted to ethanol by the enzyme alcohol dehydrogenase. It must be noted from the above that the steps are irreversible.

If a mutated strain of yeast is unique because it does not produce alcohol and lactic acid (which is referred to as toxic acid in the question); thus having a high level of pyruvate because of the presence of a novel enzyme.   <u>The function of this novel enzyme will most likely be the conversion of acetaldehyde in the presence of carbondioxide back to pyruvate; thus making that step reversible</u>. This could be a possible explanation for the high level of pyruvate present in the yeast.

"owls eat rats, mice, shrews, and small birds. assume that, over a period of time, an owl consumes 5,000 j of animal material. t
zmey [24]
Answer: 4%

Out of 5000kcal, the owl loses 2300kcal which mean it could only process 2700kcal. Out of 2700kcal processed, 2500 kcal is used for cellular respiration so there is 200 kcal used to make body cells. The production efficiency would be: 200kcal/5000kcal= 4%

You are operating a powerboat at night. Your red sidelight must be visible to boats approaching from which direction(s)?
Degger [83]
I believe the answer is head-on and port (left). The side lights are usually visible to vessels approaching from the front or the side. The red light usually indicates a vessel's port (left) side while the green light indicates a vessel's starboard (right) side. These lights ensure that there is safety at night as the vessels navigate.

devlian [24]

Answer:

C: competitive exclusion

Explanation:

<em>The competitive exclusion principle states that organisms living in the same community while competing for the same resources cannot coexist at a constant population rate. </em>

Once some of the species within the community get a slight competitive edge over other species, they become dominant and this might lead to the extinction of the weaker species in the long run.

<u>In the experimental plot, the removal of sea stars provided mussel and barnacle with a competitive advantage over other species within the community (sea stars are predators of mussels and barnacles). This led to the dominance of mussel and barnacle and the eventual extinction of other species within the experimental plot as compared to the control plot.</u>

The correct answer is C.
