Had you been Louis Pasteur what would have been your reflections and conclusions based on the broth &amp; left open flask experi
bazaltina [42]
Based on the broth left on an open flask experiment, wherein the boiled broth was placed in two flasks (one flask with straight neck and the other flask has a bent neck) and exposed to open air at room temperature for several weeks.

The broth within the straight neck flask has changed its appearance. It became discolored and cloudy. Whereas, the broth in the bent neck open flask still remains the same.

These results would then support the conclusion that germs in the air were able to fall unobstructed towards the straight neck flask and contaminate its contents. While, the bent neck of the 2nd open flask acted as a trap for the germs, preventing the germs from contaminating the broth. Further emphasizing that germs can only come from other germs and not from spontaneous generation.

In the given case, the arrangement of chromosomes at the equatorial plate indicates that the cell is currently in the metaphase stage of mitosis.

Why might increased turbidity increase the chance of something harmful being in the water
sergejj [24]

In drinking water, the more turbid it appears, the higher the chance that  those using it could end up with  gastrointestinal diseases.  The water may be having contaminants such as viruses and pathogenic bacteria which are found attached to suspended solids. These solids may interfere with disinfection of the water.

Erosion and effluent from highly urbanized  areas contribute to the turbidity of water in those areas.  In open bodies of water, organisms such as phytoplankton can contribute to turbidity in the water.
