Question

lizette works in her school’s vegetable garden. every tuesday, she pulls weeds for 15 minutes. weeding seems like a never-ending task. each time lizette goes to the garden, there are just as many weeds as the week before! lizette deduces that the weeds must be reproducing because there is no such thing as

• spontaneous generation (selected)
• controlled experiments
• homeostasis
• autotrophs

Explanation:

Spontaneous generation is the idea that living things can arise from non - living matter. Since the weeds keep reappearing in the same quantity, Lizette reasons they must reproduce (come from other weeds) because spontaneous generation (weeds appearing from non - weed matter) doesn't occur. Controlled experiments are about testing variables, homeostasis is about internal balance, and autotrophs are organisms that make their own food—none of these relate to the origin of the weeds here.

Answer:

A. spontaneous generation
