What was Redi's theory?
Redi's theory, known as spontaneous generation, proposed that living organisms could arise from nonliving matter. In his famous experiment with the meat and fly larvae, Redi demonstrated that maggots do not spontaneously generate on rotting meat but instead come from eggs laid by flies. This experiment helped to disprove the idea of spontaneous generation.
Will maggots eat poisonous mushrooms?
Maggots can consume a variety of organic matter, including some poisonous mushrooms. However, consuming the maggots that have consumed poisonous mushrooms could potentially be harmful if the toxins have been absorbed by the maggots. It is best to avoid consuming any organism that has come into contact with poisonous mushrooms.
What did Francesco Redi discover?
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.
What was a historical experiment performed to test the theory of spontaneous generation?
In 1668, Italian physician Francesco Redi performed an experiment to test the prevailing theory that maggots were formed spontaneously (abiogenesis) in rotting meat. He took 4 pieces of fresh meat and put them in containers, covering two of the containers with paper and leaving the other two uncovered. In a day or two, maggots appeared in the meat samples that were uncovered, because flies had laid their microscopic eggs in the meat. No maggots appeared on the covered pieces of meat, the ones the flies could not reach. In 1745, however, John Needham experimented with boiling solutions to prevent spoilage in grain. Needham either did not boil his solutions long enough, or accidentally contaminated the results, because he found bacteria that had apparently appeared spontaneously. These results were challenged by the Italian Lazzaro Spallanzani in 1768, and eventually by Louis Pasteur, who proved in 1859 that bacteria existed in the open air but did not form by themselves.
How does urey's and miller's experiment support the theory that scientists think that the first life forms probably arose from nonliving materials?
Scientists don't "think" that the first life forms arose from non-living materials. However, they do accept abiogenesis as the only testable theory on the origins of life, as we know it. The Miller-Urey experiment set out to prove that the chemical components of life can arise from natural processes. While it does not prove life can come from non-living matter, it does show that its' components can arise naturally.
What did Redi prove in his experiment?
Redi's experiment proved that maggots do not spontaneously generate from decaying meat, but rather come from the eggs of flies. This refuted the prevailing theory of spontaneous generation.

Do maggots come from mold?
No , maggots are from flies
What scientist performed an experiment with results that provided evidence that flies come from maggots concluding that the theory of spontaneous generation was NOT true for flies?
Francesco Redi was an Italian physician and naturalist who proved maggots come from flies. He was the first scientist to challenge the theory of spontaneous generation.
What did Francesco Redi do dealing with evolution?
Redi did an experiment seeing what maggots come from by putting meat into jars and left 1 open 1 covered with netting and one sealed the only one that didn't get maggots was the one that was sealed proving that maggots come from flies.
Where do baby maggots come from?
The adult female bugs lay maggots
Do maggots come out of pork?
NO
Why do flies come out in the summer?
durring the winter they are maggots!
Do house flies come from maggots?
No flies lay maggots, flies lay eggs, these eggs will hatch into maggots.
If you die in a completely sanitary room would you get maggots?
If there was absolutely no way for a maggot to get into the room, and no maggots or maggot eggs anywhere in the room or on your person, then there is no way for your body to become infested with maggots. Maggots are a living creature and they can't appear out of thin air, they have to come from somewhere.
You have small white maggots about 12 in your pool what are they and where did they come from?
i think they come old water. i am not shure!!
Where can maggots be found?
To find maggots go to a beach. Look mainly in the tide area (where the tide regulary ends when it comes in). dig deep into the sand and maggots will appear. Maggots normally fall into the sea and go under the sand when the tide comes in.
