Cellular Life
In this paper I will show my knowledge of many different topics of
Cellular
Life. I will explain the theory of biogenesis, cell theory, the
history of both
and how they tie in together. I will also state the
scientific method and why it
is important to science. Abbi Spallonzani used
Scientific method in his
biogenesis experiment. Scientific method are some
rules or principles used in
research and experimentation. Objectivity is the
attempt to observe things as
they are. Approach is using either inductive
reasoning or deductive reasoning.
Inductive reasoning is using results of
observations and experiments with more
general hypotheses and theories.
Deductive reasoning is using the exact results
of previous experiments.
Deductive reasoning is used back in the mid 1800's when
Louis Pasteur was
offered a prize if he could solve the theory if abiogenesis
was possible.
Abiogenesis is the belief that living things can come from
non-living things.
Biogenesis is the belief that living things are given birth
from other living
things. He used previous experiments such as Francis Redi,
John Needham,
Abbi' Spallonzani, and many others to devise a strategy. He made
swan neck
flasks with large enough holes in them to let air in but no
microorganisms.
He boiled mutton broth and put it in the jars and the broth
lasted over a
year without spoiling. This proved that abiogenesis was wrong. The
organisms
and flies in previous experiments succeeded in attacking the broth but
since
the swan neck jars kept them out this proves that nothing can grow from a
non
living object. The cell theory is a set of rules that are true of all
living
things. A cell can only be created by another cell. All living things
have at
least one sell. Cells are the fundamental structure of all
organisms.
