Which discovery did not contribute to cell theory

The right answer is All cells require ATP for energy.

Cell theory is the central and principal theory of cell biology and the most recognized foundation of biology in general. The 3 basic principles of the theory are:

* Living organisms are composed by 1 or more cells.

* The cell is elementary of life.

* Every cell comes from another cell, by biogenesis.

The common points of the cells are:

* Every cell has genetic information in the form of DNA which by various processes is expressed in other forms (RNA, proteins, ribosomes ...) that influence its functioning. This causes among other things the phenomenon of cellular differentiation.

* All cells can divide (see mitosis).

* Cells acquire and use energy through cellular metabolism (photosynthesis, glycolysis, respiration).

* Cells use mechanical forces to cohere, maintain, and transform tissues when they associate.

answer: decrease

a limiting factor is the one which decrease the abundance, distribution and causes extinction of the population of species in a ecosystem. here, predators including hawks, owls and snakes are the limiting factor for the population of mexican free tailed bat.   although bats are nocturnal animals as they forge for food at night these predators also may remain active during night which can decrease the population of the mexican free-tailed bats. also, these bats eat only one type of insects that are moths. the food can also be a limiting factor as all 400 members are dependent upon same type of food needs that are moths. the decrease in the moth population can cause decrease in population size of the mexican free-tailed bats.

therefore, the scenarios will most likely to decrease the population size of the mexican free-tailed bats.
