Answer:

Many scientists opposed the "cell theory" when it was first introduced because they believed that even "non-living matters" could produce or generate a living tissue. This was called "spontaneous generation." The appearance of the fly's larva (maggots) on meat supported this belief of theirs.

It was Louis Pasteur who was able to disprove this concept.

Explanation:

The discovery of cell came about when the microscope was invented. It was first discovered by Robert Hooke, an English natural philosopher in the 1600s. However, he wasn't really sure about the structure and function of the cell during his time. It was Anton van Leeuwenhoek, a Dutch scientist, who proposed that "motility" is a quality of life.

Developing the cell theory was credited to Theodor Schwann and Matthias Schleiden.

How do nitrates get into the surface water

loris [4]

Natural levels of nitrate in Minnesota groundwater are usually quite low (less than 1 milligram per liter [mg/L] of nitrate-nitrogen). However, where sources of nitrate such as fertilizers, animal wastes, or human sewage are concentrated near the ground surface, nitrate may seep down and contaminate the groundwater. Elevated nitrate levels in groundwater are often caused by run-off from barnyards or feedlots, excessive use of fertilizers, or septic systems.

Wells most vulnerable to nitrate contamination include shallow wells, dug wells with casing which is not watertight, and wells with damaged, leaking casing or fittings.

Nitrate contamination of a well is often regarded as a first sign of deteriorating groundwater quality.
