Life and the Cell
Theory
A 19th century scientist investigates cell growth by placing boiled broth
in one Erlenmeyer flask and non-boiled broth in another flask. The
scientist covered both flasks so that air could not enter the flasks and
observed the flasks for two weeks. Neither flask grew any biological
matter. From this the scientist concluded that abiogenesis or
spontaneous generation was an invalid theory.

same postulates of cell theory to viral
replication?

promote rapid growth similar to how crystal solids
form. In this hypothesis, new cellular material is not
created from preexisting cells. First a new nucleus of
a cell attaches to the preexisting cells followed by the
formation of the cytoplasm and lastly a cellular
membrane forms around the cytoplasm-nucleus
complex. This process can only happen if there is a
pre-existing lattice network of cells that can function
as a site of nucleation.
