Question

how were redis and pasteurs experiments similar?
both studied the growth of microbes in broth.
both studied flies emerging from meat.
both tested the idea of spontaneous generation.
both tested whether pasteurization kills microorganisms.

Explanation:

Redi's experiment used meat to show maggots came from fly - eggs, not spontaneous generation. Pasteur's swan - neck flask experiment disproved spontaneous generation for microbes in broth. Both aimed to test the concept of spontaneous generation.

Answer:

C. Both tested the idea of spontaneous generation.
