Question

compare: how were the outcomes of pasteurs and redis experiments similar? both experiments proved that life can come from rotting meat. both experiments proved that spontaneous generation occurs. both experiments showed that heat kills microorganisms. both experiments showed that living things only come from living things. done

Explanation:

• Redi's experiment: He placed meat in jars, some open (flies laid eggs on meat, maggots appeared) and some covered (no maggots as flies couldn't lay eggs). This showed that maggots (living things) came from fly eggs (living things), disproving spontaneous generation from non - living meat.
• Pasteur's experiment: He used swan - neck flasks with broth. The broth in flasks with intact necks (no dust/airborne microbes could enter) remained free of microbes. When the necks were broken (microbes could enter), microbes grew. This showed that microbes (living things) came from pre - existing microbes (living things), not spontaneously from the broth.

Answer:

Both experiments showed that living things only come from living things.
