Why is redi's experiment a good example of a controlled experiment

Biology
1 answer:
Step2247 [10]3 years ago
4 0
A controlled experiment is when the experimenter can change one variable in the experiment and completely change the results.

Redi experiment involved a closed jar with rotting meat on the inside. He waited for a few days and found no new forms of life in the jar.
He then did the same experiment, but this time he took the lid off the jar. After those few days he found there were maggots in the rotting meat from flies.

This is a great example of a controlled experiment, because he only had to change one variable to completely change the results. In this case that variable was just removing the lid from the jar.

Redi was trying to prove spontaneous generation with his experiment. Although, it failed.

Spontaneous generation: When life forms from non-livings.

Redi disproved spontaneous generation, but proved biogenesis.

Biogenesis: When life comes from other living beings.

He proved biogenesis because the flies had reproduced when the jar was opened.

Why is the menstrual cycle an important adaptation for reproduction in humans?
raketka [301]
The menstrual cycle is practically controlled by a system of hormones that is necessary for reproduction, and when the hormone reaches a heightened level, something called estradiol is made, then the stimulation of the ovaries by a luteinizing hormone.

Once that hormone begins developing, the ovaries make an egg that quickly becomes an ovum. The ovary then releases one egg or two during ovulation. The endometrium (the part that sheds its own cells for the menstruation) peaks after ovulation and changes the lining of the uterus to prepare for the hectic process of pregnancy and child labor. 

Hope that was helpful.

HELP URGENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!<br><br>​

If the paramecium was not able to contract its contractile vacuole, it would be in danger of bursting. The cell would not be able to hold too much water. This would happen faster if the paramecium was in water with a low salt concentration because there is more water and less salt, so the water would accumulate faster.
