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.

Answer:

C. Atoms can be used over and over in different molecules

Explanation:

When different compounds enter the stomach, they undergo a series of chemical reactions and are broken down. They are then used for new metabolic processes. For example, if glucose was broken down into pure Carbons, they could then react and form other molecules as needed by the body.

What are the ways in which captive breeding helps protect biodiversity? Check all that apply
IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

Following are the ways captive breeding helps conserve biodiversity:

  1. Captive breeding can increase population numbers
  2. Captive breeding can help remove species from the Endangered Species List
  3. Captive breeding can result in the eventual release of offspring into the wild.

Explanation:

Captive Breeding:

Captive breeding is an ex-situ conservation technique (taking the animal out of its natural habitat to increase population numbers in zoos or sanctuaries). Captive breeding involves selective breeding of endangered species to help produce a sizable population that can later be introduced back into the wild when their habitat improves.

Captive breeding programs include zoos, sanctuaries located away from the animal's original habitat. For example, the Toronto Zoo has operated a captive breeding program for the Blanding's turtle since 2012. The turtles are kept their for 2 years after birth and then released back into the wild.
