Robert Hooke, a French scientist, published Micrographia in which he described many of his microscopic observations.
true or false?
Long ago, many people believed that living things could come from nonliving things. They thought that worms came from wood and
that maggots came from decaying meat. This idea was called spontaneous generation. In 1668, an Italian biologist, Francesco Redi, did
experiments to prove that maggots did not come from meat. One of his experiments is described below.
Redi placed pieces of meat in several jars. He divided the jars into two groups. He covered the first group of jars with fine cloth. He left
the second group of jars uncovered. Redi observed the jars for several days. He saw flies on the cloth of the covered jars, and he saw
flies laying eggs on the meat in the uncovered jars. Maggots appeared only on the meat in the group of jars left uncovered.
What was the question in Redi's experiment?
O Is spontaneous generation a valid explanation for maggots in meats?
O How do maggots appear in meats?
O Are jars a good place to grow maggots?
