In pasteur's What was the function of the curved neck on the flask was to prevent?
the curved neck on the flask was to prevent trapped germs in the air from contaminating the broth. The germs accumulated in the curved neck,­ preventing germs from reaching the broth, unlike the straight neck the curved neck never changed color or became cloudy after several weeks. Concluding that "germs come from other germs".
How did Louis Pasteur experiment differ from lazzaro spallanzani experiment?
Instead of sealing the flask in the experimental group after boiling, Pasteur used a flask with a curved neck, which allowed air inside and outside the flask to mix but prevented microorganisms from entering the body of the flask.
What improvement did Pasteur make to Redi's experiment?
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.
What did Pasteur settle the spontaneous generation argument?
He designed a flask that had a long curved neck. He boiled it for an entire second. No microorganisms could be found.
How did pasteur settle the spontaneous generation argument?
Quite. By sealing meat away from atmosphere he showed that maggots do not spontaneously generate out of meat not landed on by egg laying flies.PS: Abiogenesis is not spontaneous generation!

What is the scientist name that finally settled the argument over whether or not life could arise from nonliving matter by creating the curved neck flask?
Louis Pasteur

How did the design of Pasteur flask help him successfully refute the hypothesis of spontaneous generation?
It showed that microorganisms can only enter the flask as airborne particles.
Who was The idea of spontaneous generation disapproved by?
Louis Pasteur with the S-shaped neck flask
What is the difference between a beaker and a flask?
The shape of the opening. A Beaker has a wide opening, the curved sides of the beaker do not converge. A flask has a narrow opening, the curved sides form a narrow neck, that can be bunged.
What would have happened is Pasteur had tipped on of his flasks so that the broth in the flask came into contact with the curve of the neck?
If the pasteur tipped on of his flasks so that the broth came into contact with the curve of the neck, the sterile broth soon became contaminated with microorganisms which were trapped in the curve.
How did the design of Pasteur's flask help him successfully refute the hypothesis of spontaneous generation?
With previous attempts to disprove spontaneous generation, they argued that nothing was showing up because when something did, it suffocated. With a swan necked flask, as it's called, air could come in and out of it while the bend in the neck stopped airborne bacteria from infecting the broth.
Why do you think flasks with curved necks are important?
Flasks with curved necks are important because they are designed to fit the human hand making them easier to grip and pour from. Additionally the curved neck allows for a smoother pour and helps prevent spills. Lastly the curved neck helps to reduce the amount of air that enters the flask which helps to preserve and protect the contents.
