Question

how were redis and pasteurs experiments different?
redi studied broth, but pasteur tested meat.
pasteur studied flies, but redi tested meat.
pasteur tested for microorganisms, but redi studied larger organisms.
redi tested for microorganisms, but pasteur studied larger organisms.

Explanation:

• Francesco Redi's experiment in 1668 focused on larger organisms (flies). He showed that maggots on meat come from fly eggs, not spontaneous generation.
• Louis Pasteur's experiments in the 1860s used broth and specialized flasks. He proved that microorganisms (like bacteria) do not arise spontaneously but come from pre - existing microbes in the air.

Answer:

C. Pasteur tested for microorganisms, but Redi studied larger organisms.
