The cell theory eventually replaced the concept of spontaneous generation as a result of what experimental evidence?
Arisa [49]

<u>Answer:-</u> <em>Option C </em>- evidence that microorganisms cannot grow in boiled broth when new organisms were not allowed to enter.

<u>Explanation:-</u>

  • <em>Theory of spontaneous generation</em> stated that the living organisms can be created from non living matter. However, this theory was disapproved and replaced by the <em>cell theory</em> which stated that all living organisms are created from cells and new cells arise from pre-existing cells.
  • There were several experiments conducted by various scientists to disapprove the theory of spontaneous generation however, the experiment that was most successful to do so was the one conducted by <em>Louis Pasteur</em> in 1859.
  • <em><u>Description of the experiment:-</u></em>

-In his experiment, Pasteur boiled a meat broth in a flask (it was known that boiling the broth kills the micro organisms) and then heated the neck of the flask to bend into a S- shape.

The purpose of the S shaped neck was to allow the air to enter into the flask but not the micro-organisms as the micro organisms will settle by gravity in the neck and not reach into the flask.

<em>observations of the experiment</em> :-

1. Pasteur observed that even though the air entered the flask no micro organisms were growing in the flask.

2. Further,when he tilted the flask so that the broth came in contact with the part of the neck where the air borne microorganisms could have settled he was able to observe microbial growth in the flask.

These observations laid the theory of spontaneous generation to rest and proved that <em>organisms can only grow in the presence of pre-existing cells </em>which in this case were the microorganisms.

Activation of the sympathetic nervous system A. increases salivation and increases blood pressure. B. decreases salivation and i
yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

B. decreases salivation and increases blood pressure

Explanation:

The sympathetic nervous system is part of the autonomous nervous system which controls involuntary responses of the body such as salivation and blood pressure.

The sympathetic nervous system  is majorly responsible for body actions that are produced when threat is perceived. It generates responses referred to as the “fight or flight” response. Examples of such responses include, increased breathing, increased high blood pressure, dilation, decreased salivation, etc.

Activation of the sympathetic nervous system would result in rise in the blood pressure as can be witnessed by someone whose body has perceived a threat or reacting to a stressful situation.

The control of salivary production by the sympathetic nervous system  leads to the release of noradrenaline which acts on certain receptors that results in decrease in the production of saliva. This is evident in a person that is facing a threat also.
