Francesco Redi did an experiment in 1668 that disproved a belief that maggots spontaneously generated on rotting meat. His experiment was to place meat into sets of jars: one set he left open to the air, one set he covered with very fine gauze, one set was completely sealed. Maggots appeared on the meat in the open jars; flies laid eggs on the gauze but no maggots appeared because the scent of rotting meat provides no nourishment; nothing appeared on the meat in the completely sealed jars.
Redi believed in spontaneous generation of many things, just not fly maggots. He is credited with beginning the experiments using controls method used now.
Redi proved that spontaneous generation is not always effective. For example, living things cannot be produced from non-living things. He proved this by putting meat in a jar alone, where nothing happened, and meat in a jar with a fly, where the fly layed eggs and maggots hatched. So living things can only come from living things
he was known for his wonderful scientific inquires
Francesco Redi discovered spontaneous generation. He was famous for his experiments concerning flies "spontaneously growing" from raw meat in jars.
Francesco Redi proved the theory of spontaneous generation.
He concluded that the theory of spontaneous generation was wrong
Spontaneous generation.
He disproved the spontaneous generation
Francesco Redi was an Italian physician who in 1668 proposed a different hypothesis for the appearance of maggots from meat than spontaneous generation, formed by the Greek philosepher Aristotle. He tested his hypothesis by using a covered jar of meat and an uncovered jar of meat and concluded that maggots appeared because of the flies. wrrd
it means he waz very smart and got a nobel peace prize
Francesco Redi disproved the ancient theory that some forms of life, especially insects, developed from inorganic substances. He discovered that maggots were larvae of flies and that they hatched in rotting meat.
People in redis time thought living things came from mud or decaying meat
The prediction that he made in designing his experiment was called the scientific method.
Francesco Redi proved the theory of spontaneous generation.

Francesco Redi's conclusion was that all organisms come from other organisms of the same kind.

Redi took might refer to Francesco Redi, the Italian naturalist, physician, and poet. Redi took might also refer to the Redi Clinic in Houston, Texas.
Francesco Redi was a doctor and naturalist who was born in Arezzo, Italy on February 18, 1626. Redi was also a published poet. He never married.
Francesco Redi was an Italian physician who lived February 18, 1626 - March 1, 1697. He is often referred to in the scientific community as The Father of Modern Parasitology.
Francesco's work to disprove abiogenesis, or spontaneous generation, would later play a crucial role in the development of cell theory. His belief about cells was that all living organisms are made up of individual biological cells.
