The supporters of this theory stated that life did not come from outer space. Rather there was a natural spontaneous generation of the living organisms from non-living matter present on earth.
Explanation:
For example, they believed that the decayed and rotting material like mud, straw, etc. had the capacity to give rise to organisms like frogs, flies, etc. However this concept was experimentally disproved by many scientists. One of them was Louis Pasteur. Louis Pasteur by careful experimentation demonstrated that life comes only from pre-existing life. He showed that in pre-sterilized flasks, life did not come from killed yeast while in another flask open to air, new living organisms arose from killed yeast.
perhaps you live by a pond.The water,wind, and tempature are all antibiotic factors.The fish,frogs,and bugs are all living so they are the biotic factors.
During dormancy, seeds wait until the conditions are optimal for cellular respiration. Modifications would include things such as seeding elongation, germination and hormone regulation
