M. Louis Pasteur showed that microorganisms are born of other microorganisms in water and air (i learned this in grade 8) Um excuse me, this is actually the conclusion that was drawn, not the results of the experiment, so please get your facts straight
Francesco Redi was an Italian physician and biologist who conducted experiments to disprove spontaneous generation. Louis Pasteur was a French chemist and microbiologist known for his discoveries in the principles of vaccination, microbial fermentation, and pasteurization, laying the foundation for modern microbiology.
Biogenesis is the principle that living organisms only come from other living organisms. This concept is attributed to Louis Pasteur, a French chemist and microbiologist, who conducted experiments in the 19th century to disprove the idea of spontaneous generation.
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.

Francesco Redi and Louis Pasteur, as well as Lazzaro Spallanzani and John Tyndall, all did scientific experiments (as opposed to philosophical writings) challenging the idea that life could quickly arise in the absence of any life from which other life could grow. This idea, formally dating back to the ancient Greeks, is called "spontaneous generation." The experiments of these four showed that spontaneous generation did not occur in situations that others thought it did. Like any good science controversy, other scientists did experiments that supported spontaneous generation, but Pasteur and Tyndall were able to do experiments that were rigorous enough to unambiguously disprove this idea.
Redi and Pasteur helped to disprove spontaneous generation.
Redi and Pasteur
yes, by gathering information to disprove thee idea of spontaneous generation
The two scientists were Redi and Louis Pasteur. (sorry, can't remember Redi's first name.)

Louis Pasteur is the scientist who used the S-shaped flask in his experiments to disprove the idea of spontaneous generation. This famous experiment led to the development of the germ theory of disease and the field of microbiology.

The idea of spontaneous generation was famously disproven by Louis Pasteur in the 19th century through a series of experiments. He used swan-necked flasks to demonstrate that microorganisms from the air, not spontaneous generation, caused contamination of sterile broth. By keeping the broth free from airborne microorganisms, he showed that it remained free of life, thereby refuting the idea that living organisms could arise from non-living matter. His work laid the foundation for the germ theory of disease and modern microbiology.
