people once believed organisms could grow from food or dirt.How might the scientific study of cells have affected this view?



Answer :

It proves that living organisms MUST come from other living organisms, an egg couldn't magically appear in a pile of chicken seed, a hen would have had to lay the egg first, just as a nucleoulus makes ribosomes so the cell can have proteins, the proteins don't just materialize within the organism.
The fact that cells always come from other cells means that no living thing could just suddenly appear
