Question

which component of the cell theory argues against life on earth evolving from inorganic molecules? all organisms are made of one or more cells. the cell is the fundamental unit of all life. all cells come from preexisting cells. cells are small in size. all cells are either prokaryotic or eukaryotic.

Explanation:

The idea that life evolved from inorganic molecules proposes the first life arose from non-living matter. The cell theory component stating all cells come from preexisting cells directly contradicts this, as it requires life (cells) to only originate from already existing life, not non-living inorganic molecules. The other options describe cell properties or classification, not the origin of cells/life.

Answer:

C. All cells come from preexisting cells.
