How did the experiments of redi and pasteur disprove the theory of abiogenesis and prove biogenesis?
Asked by Wiki User
They both found out the the theory was wrong. Redi's experiment was to have two jars, one uncovered and the other one covered by a cloth. The next day, the flies came to the opened one and layed eggs on it. No maggots came on the covered one. They both proved it wrong.
What did Louis Pasteur discover with a microscope?
Asked by Wiki User
His first discovery with the microscope was of bacteria in French wines that were turning them into vinegar, ruining them. This led to his development of Pasteurization, which saved the French wine industry.
He later went on to make many other discoveries.
What is an positive effect by Europeans?
Asked by Wiki User
Euopreans have had many positive effects over the centuries. Louis Pasteur, a Frenchman, discovered how to pasteurize milk, and also developed smallpox vaccine, for example.
What was a direct result of discovery that germs caused disease?
Asked by Wiki User
Improved sanitation was the direct result of the discovery that germs caused disease. Hospitals changed their practices to keep diseases from being spread.
Why is milk heated to high temperature before they are bottled?
Asked by Wiki User
You are describing the process of pasteurization, which reduces the bacteria that may be harmful to your health.
When was penicillin made by Louis Pasteur?
Asked by Wiki User
No, It was discovered by Alexander Fleming but he gave up as he couldn't store it. 10 years later in 1944 Ernest Chain and Howard Florey tried it on humans & it worked, just in time for World War 2.
What year did Louis Pasteur invent the treatmeant for rabies?
Asked by Wiki User
Vaccination did not have its origin with Edward Jenner. He learned of its efficacy from local folklore, and a Lady Margaret Montague who had her child vaccinated whilst in Turkey in 1718, where her husband was an UK official.
Vaccination had been practiced in India and China in much earlier years - according to an Indian medical text, perhaps as early as 1000 - 2000 BC.
Because of Jenner and Montague, vaccination against smallpox via a cowpox challenge, was becoming widespread, if somewhat sporadically, in the 1700s.
The word vaccine derives from Latin vacca for cow. And Pasteur named the products vaccines in honour of Jenner.
Pasteur went on to develop various other vaccines, and indeed in 1885 he applied an early variety of rabies vaccine to a child bitten by a rabid dog. Whether the child had indeed contracted the disease is debated, for even modern rabies vaccines are only considered worthwhile before the disease challenge.
Do they still use pasteurization?
Asked by Wiki User
Vitually all milk production uses Pasteur's system of heating and cooling milk to kill harmful bacteria. Those that don't call it 'raw' or 'green top' milk

When did Louis Pasteur discover germs?
Asked by Wiki User
In 1857 Louis Pasteur was employed to find the explanation for the souring of sugar beets used in fermenting industrial alcohol. His explanation was that germs found in the air can multiply under the right conditions.
What process is named after Louis Pasteur?
Asked by Wiki User
Pasteurization is a process which slows microbial growth in food. The process was named after its creator, French chemist and microbiologist Louis Pasteur. The first pasteurization test was completed by Louis Pasteur and Claude Bernard on April 20, 1864. The process was originally conceived as a way of preventing wine and beer from souring.[
Explain how Pasteur's experiments showed that living things do not come from nonliving things?
Asked by Wiki User
The idea that life forms can spring from inorganic matter is known as spontaneous generation. Aristotle was the chief Western proponent of this belief which was difficult to dislodge because most people had great difficulty in understanding how tiny insects, for instance, could appear as if from nothing.
As a matter of fact, Pasteur did not entirely succeed in providing the required proof; however, he did lead the way. By boiling the beef broth in the flask he left the broth unchanged but extinguished the microbial life in it-or at least most of it. Doubters were pushed to the conclusion that there could be no such thing as spontaneous generation, that there must have been something in the broth that boiling had destroyed. The broth did not go bad.

How did Joseph Lister apply in Louis Pasteur's findings?
Asked by Wiki User
GRAWH! MOO!
Please do ignore the idiotic first answer. There wasn't really much of a relationship between Pasteur and Lister since they were in different countries and all that, but Lister did use Pasteur's work to help him with his whole antiseptic phenomena.
Through reading Pasteur's work on finding 'germs' in his beetroot beer, and how 'germs' affect other things, Lister applied this to septicemia that was common after operations or any other kind of cut and it made sense. He then used carbolic acid when operating, spraying everything from the instruments used, to his own hands.
Seriously, if you have nothing better to do but put idiotic comments on people's questions that they generally may need help with, just go away and get a job to fill your time IDIOT!
How did Isaac Newton help us?
Asked by Wiki User
Isaac Newton's experiments on gravity and his formulation of the laws of motion helped human beings go into space among other things. He is considered the most influential scientist of all time.
What does Louis Pasteur discovery means today?
Asked by Wiki User
Pasteur disproved abiogenesis (creation of life from non-living things). He also discovered pasteurization where bacteria and other germs are killed in hihg temperatures. That process is what is used today to eliminate germs in food like milk and water :)
