Răspunsuri la întrebare
Răspuns:Redi's experiment concerned the belief in spontaneous generation, the idea that living organisms could arise spontaneously from non-living matter. In his experiment, Redi set up three jars containing meat, each covered with a different barrier. In the first jar, the meat was left uncovered, and flies were able to lay eggs on the meat. In the second jar, the meat was covered with a fine gauze that allowed air to pass through, but not flies. In the third jar, the meat was covered with a tight lid that prevented both air and flies from reaching the meat. After several days, the first jar had maggots on the meat, the second jar had no maggots, and the third jar also had no maggots. This showed that the maggots were not spontaneously generated, but were the result of eggs laid by flies.
