Which of the following observations would seem to contradict the cell theory? protein chains display lifelike mobility in moving through a cell
a daughter cell has the same chromosomes as a parent cell
cells do not grow past a certain size

protein chains display lifelike mobility in moving through a cell

Explanation:

The cell theory as proposed by Mathias Scleiden, Theodor Schwann, and Rudolph Virchow in 1838 is a universally accepted theory that has three components which include; a) cell is the basic and fundamental unit of life b) All living organisms are composed of one or more cell c) Cells arise from pre-existing cells.

According to this question, the observation that "protein chains display lifelike mobility in moving through a cell" seem to contradict the cell theory because the CELL is regarded as the fundamental and basic unit of life, hence, it shouldn't contain any other living or moving molecule within itself.

from my research i have to the conclusion that decomposers, such as fungi, bacteria and invertebrates, play a critical role in nutrient cycling and without them the earth's ecosystem may not support life as we know it. elements such as carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus exist in limited amounts on earth, although huge amounts of carbon are being released into the atmosphere from underground sources now by humans. it is still extremely important that other nutrients be retained by the process of re-use. decomposers are organisms that are able to chemically break down dead material and make these elements available for use by other organisms. without this breakdown of dead material, dead bodies would pile up. so decomposers also play a role in clean up also. without them, life might not continue as we know it and dead material would overwhelm the earth.
