Question

A friend tells you that he read somewhere that rotting garbage can

grow into adult flies Do you think he is right? Explain your answer
with reason What part of the cell theory could you use to explain
your point

Dear Student,

No, he is wrong
According to cell theory given by Schwann and
Schleiden, all the living cells arise from pre-existing
cells Maggots can not form out of rotting garbage (organic waste)
on their own The development of maggots is dependent on fly
(whether it lay eggs or not) Moreover, the garbage is rotten this
means it is decomposed by the bacteria Bacteria is a lower form of
life whereas maggots and flies are higher forms of life
