Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The word “abio” means non living and “genesis” means origination. Thus, abiogenesis or theory of spontaneous generation means the origination of living organisms from non living matter. This theory was first given by Aristotle’s who explains the maggots origination on spoiling meat. So, he concluded that simpler invertebrates are spontaneously arises by non living matter.

What would the results of Pasteur's swan-neck flask experiment have looked like if they supported the theory of spontaneous generation? B. What did Pasteur's experiments not prove? C. How would the presence of endospores in Louis Pasteur's nutrient solutions have affected his conclusions about spontaneous generation?
Attached below is the study about the effects of handwashing and the effectiveness of soap against bacteria. What conclusions can be generated from this result?
A
C
before washing hands
10 second hand wash

D
hot water only rinse
30 second hand wash
Figure 8: Agar plates with bacteria A) before washing hands B) after rinsing hands in hot water C) After washing
hands with soap for 10 seconds and D) after washing hands for 30 seconds. Images show that the number of
bacteria on the plate are not greatly reduced after a hot water rinse or 10 second handwash but bacterial levels are
reduced after a proper hand wash for 30 seconds.
