Answer:

He examined covered and uncovered meat to determine that maggots came from eggs.

Explanation:

Prior to Redi's experiment and other supporting experiments, it was formerly believed that life could emanate from non-living things, for example, the generation of maggots from rotting meat.

In 1668, a scientist called Francesco Redi disproved the idea of spontaneous generation. He did this when he experimented that the maggots from meats are only as a result of eggs laid by flies when they perched on the meat.

He placed the meat in two jars; an uncovered jar and another in a covered jar with a cloth, after several days, the uncovered jar had maggots on the meat, while the covered jar had no maggot on the meat, but on the cloth. With this experiment, he was able to demonstrate that the maggot arose from the eggs of the flies, not the meat itself which is nonliving and hence, disproved the idea of spontaneous generation.

Which level on on the pyramid will have the most amount of energy?
serious [3.7K]

Answer:

<em>Hello, In all the ecological pyramids, producers (organisms that produce their own food) are found at the lowest trophic level. This trophic level contains the highest amount of energy. The energy in each trophic level of an energy pyramid is just 10 percent of the energy in the level below it. (Why is there less energy available at the top of an energy pyramid than at the bottom?) Less energy is available to organisms in the upper levels because each organism releases some of the chemical energy in food to the air as thermal energy. Less total energy is available with each step up energy pyramid. Hope That Helps!</em>
