Francesco Redi conducted a famous experiment in the 17th century to demonstrate that maggots on decaying meat came from eggs laid by flies, not from spontaneous generation. He placed meat in three jars: one open to the air, one sealed, and one covered with gauze. The open jar attracted flies, which laid eggs and resulted in maggots, while the sealed jar remained free of maggots, and the gauze-covered jar allowed air in but prevented flies from accessing the meat. Redi's experiment helped establish the principle of biogenesis, the idea that life arises from existing life.

Why is redi's experiment on spontaneous generation considered a controlled variable?
Redi showed the need to limit/control outside variables when he covered 1/2 the jars and got different results than the uncovered.
The purpose of the netting in redi's experiment was to prevent?
Adult flies from entering the jar.
What is the controlled variable in redi's experiment on spontaneous generation?
The jar that contained the meat with the cover on it.

Did fransesco Redi Marry?
Francesco Redi never married. He dedicated much of his life to his scientific work and did not have a family of his own.
What was the problem in Redi's experiment?
Redi started to plan an experiment without more observation and more diffirent stuff
What was the manipulated variable in redi's experient?
The manipulated variable in Redi's experiment was the gauze lid he put on the jar.
What did redi's experiment prove that maggots did not come from?
Redi's experiment proved that maggots did not spontaneously generate from decaying meat, contradicting the popular belief of spontaneous generation at the time.
Why is Redi's experiment considered the first true scientific experiment?
it was the first experiment that followed the scientific method
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.
Why is redi's experiment on spontaneous generation considered a controlled variable?
Redi showed the need to limit/control outside variables when he covered 1/2 the jars and got different results than the uncovered.
The purpose of the netting in redi's experiment was to prevent?
Adult flies from entering the jar.
What variables present in redi's experiment on spontaneous generation is not a controlled variable?
The presence of living organisms in the meat jars was not a controlled variable in Redi's experiment on spontaneous generation. This variable was dependent on the conditions set by Redi, rather than being controlled by him.
What did Francesco redi show to the Greeks?
Francesco Redi found out in his experiment of were maggots came from that they came from flies and not dead meat.(1668)
What equipment did redi used in his experiment Why was the gauze important?
