Question 8 • FL-2000310-Biology 1 Sem 1 - Flex

What was shown by both Redi’s and Pasteur’s experiments?

Answer
A
Living things only come from other living things.
B
Nonliving things can come from living things.
C
Nonliving things only come from other nonliving things.
D
Living things can come from nonliving things.

Explanation

Redi’s meat experiment and Pasteur’s broth experiment both showed that organisms appeared only when other living organisms could reach the materials. They challenged spontaneous generation, the idea that life can arise from nonliving matter, and supported the conclusion that living things come from other living things. Therefore, the correct choice is “Living things only come from other living things.”
