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

Biology

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.

Which of the following criteria have to be met for a species to qualify as invasive? Endemic to the area, spreads rapidly, and d
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

Introduced to a new area, spreads rapidly, and displaces native species.

Explanation:

A species is invasive when they were not present in the area before, and once that they are there, they reproduce at a high peace. The fast reproduction rate, which leads to the spread of the species in the area, causes a disbalance in the ecosystem since it eats other species, which are native because they are from that area or other species' food. As a consequence, native species die or are reduced in number because the new species invaded their habitat.

An invasive species is not endemic because they are not native to that particular area. They are always external to this one.
