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.
Redi started to plan an experiment without more observation and more diffirent stuff
Francesco Redi found out in his experiment of were maggots came from that they came from flies and not dead meat.(1668)
Francesco Redi was an Italian poet and physician. He was born in Pisa, Italy on February 18, 1626 and died in Pisa, Italy on March 1, 1697.
In the 1600's, the Italian scientist Francisco Redi performed experiments that showed that flies did not spontaneously generate from raw meat.
Redi and Pasteur helped to disprove 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.
he set the foundation on which Louis Pasteur disproved spontaneous generation.
The two scientists were Redi and Louis Pasteur. (sorry, can't remember Redi's first name.)
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.

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.
This proves that there is no such thing as spontaneous generation.
The manipulated variable in Redi's experiment was the gauze lid he put on the jar.
