two scientists from the 19th century that rejected the idea of spontaneous generation.

they both found out that living cells only come from other living cells.
In 1864, Louis Pasteur, a French scientist, designed a flask that had a long curved neck to allow air, but not microorganisms, to enter the flask. To observe a small living organism, a scientist might use a compound light microscope.
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.

Redi and Pasteur helped to disprove spontaneous generation.

This proves that there is no such thing as spontaneous generation.
The two scientists were Redi and Louis Pasteur. (sorry, can't remember Redi's first name.)
they didnt
Francesco Redi, in 1668, showed that abiogenesis of maggots did not occur, and further experiments by Lazzaro Spallanzani (1768) and Louis Pasteur (1861) showed that many of the lifeforms thought "created" were those already invisibly present in the air or in other materials.

The experiments of Redi and Pasteur helped to demonstrate that all organisms come from other organisms. At the time, the prevailing theory was called "Spontaneous Generation" which assumed that organisms simply appeared. Both scientists delt with proving that, in the presence of oxygen, organisms did not grow if they were not exposed to microbe-containing air.
he set the foundation on which Louis Pasteur disproved spontaneous generation.
He demonstrated that new bacteria appeared in broth only when they were produced by living bacteria. The experiments of Redi and Pasteur helped to convince people that living things do not arise from nonliving material.
