Why air is needed by livingthings?

It's not the air that's needed - it's the oxygen ! Life on Earth developed by relying on oxygen to sustain it. The 'air' could be made up of totally different components - so long as it contained about 20% oxygen.


What did Lazzaro Spallanzani contributes to microbiology?

He repeated John Needham's experiment in which nutrient fluids (Chicken broth) was put into a sealed flask then heated. The nutrient medium could be stored and microoganisms did not arise from it. This experiment disproved the Spontaneous Generation and paved the way for Pasteur's research. Spallanzani was largely criticised under claims that microorganisms needed oxygen to survive. He was also a pioneer in the fertilization an experiment which he produced with frogs. :) hope that helps.

What is Thomas engelmann's experiment?

Engelmann shone light of different colores (wavelengths) onto filaments of Spirogyra. Spirogyra is an alga made up of filaments (chains) of cells. He added motile bacteria (which could swim) and which needed oxygen and observed where they went. He found that the bacteria clustered around the blue and red colours of the spectrum, where the Spirogyra were producing the most oxygen. So he concluded that these two colours were the most important for photosynthesis. For an animation of his experiment see: http://www.phschool.com/science/biology_place/biocoach/photosynth/action.html See also: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theodor_Wilhelm_Engelmann


Why cant you set a fire to the Moon's surface?

there is no oxygen on the moon, therefore, a fire could not start because in the fire triangle, (the materials needed to start a fire) the fire needs oxygen, which the moon does not have, fuel, and heat.
