If Pasteur had just warmed the nutrient-rich broth instead of boiling it in his experiment on spontaneous generation, what would have likely happened?
If Pasteur had just warmed the nutrient-rich broth instead of boiling it in his experiment on spontaneous generation, what would have likely happened?
- Cells would have divided rapidly in the broth.
- New species of cells would have spontaneously appeared in the broth.
- Cells would have been killed in the broth. (correct)
- Spores in the air would have contaminated the broth.
Which of the following statements best correlates with Pasteur's experiments on spontaneous generation?
Which of the following statements best correlates with Pasteur's experiments on spontaneous generation?
- Preexisting cells in the air can generate new life forms spontaneously.
- Boiling nutrient broth enhances the growth of microorganisms.
- Spontaneous generation can occur when life forms arise from non-living matter.
- Cells can only originate from preexisting cells. (correct)
How did Pasteur's experiment contribute to disproving the theory of spontaneous generation?
How did Pasteur's experiment contribute to disproving the theory of spontaneous generation?
- By sterilizing nutrient broth and preventing spontaneous generation. (correct)
- By showing that preexisting cells in the air can grow in sterilized nutrient broth.
- By demonstrating that cells can survive in swan-necked flasks.
- By proving that oxygen is essential for cell growth.
