In this paper I will show my knowledge of many different topics of CellularLife. I will explain the theory of biogenesis, cell theory, the history of bothand how they tie in together. I will also state the scientific method and why itis important to science.
Abbi Spallonzani used Scientific method in hisbiogenesis experiment. Scientific method are some rules or principles used inresearch and experimentation. Objectivity is the attempt to observe things asthey are. Approach is using either inductive reasoning or deductive reasoning. Inductive reasoning is using results of observations and experiments with moregeneral hypotheses and theories. Deductive reasoning is using the exact resultsof previous experiments.
Deductive reasoning is used back in the mid 1800’s whenLouis Pasteur was offered a prize if he could solve the theory if abiogenesiswas possible. Abiogenesis is the belief that living things can come fromnon-living things. Biogenesis is the belief that living things are given birthfrom other living things. He used previous experiments such as Francis Redi,John Needham, Abbi’ Spallonzani, and many others to devise a strategy. He madeswan neck flasks with large enough holes in them to let air in but nomicroorganisms.
He boiled mutton broth and put it in the jars and the brothlasted over a year without spoiling. This proved that abiogenesis was wrong. Theorganisms and flies in previous experiments succeeded in attacking the broth butsince the swan neck jars kept them out this proves that nothing can grow from anon living object. The cell theory is a set of rules that are true of all livingthings.
A cell can only be created by another cell. All living things have atleast one sell. Cells are the fundamental structure of all organisms.
