Emma is curious to see how fertilizer makes a plant grow larger. After doing some research, she believes that the chemicals with

in the fertilizer will make a plant increase in size. She also believes that plants that do not receive fertilizer will be smaller in size. Emma plans to put the same type of plant seed into 6 pots containing soil and fertilizer and monitor how the plants grow. She runs out of fertilizer, though, and decides to put sand into 3 of the pots instead of fertilizer and soil. After the experiment finishes, Emma observes that the plants that had fertilizer grew much larger than the plants with sand. She finally concludes that fertilizer greatly increases the size of a plant. Why is her conclusion invalid?

Her conclusion is invalid because using sand instead of soil slows down plant growth. Fertilizer, on its own, does not 'greatly' increase the size of the plant.

The correct way to do this experiment would be to keep all other parameters same, except the fertilizer. This will give her accurate results.

The hypothesis that germs desease is theory Before many scientists believed in the idea spontaneres the appearance of organists

Explanation:

The Germ Theory of Disease  indicates that microbes are the causal agents in human disease.  In modern healthcare, Germ Theory has led to a breakthrough in the treatment of infectious diseases with antibiotics such as penicillin, and the prevention of disease outbreaks through proper sanitation and vaccination.

Further  Explanation:

Biology's unifying principle states that cells are the basic units of biological organisms. Cells sharing a similar origin, group together in the body to form tissues; these typically share physical features and are arranged in regular patterns. All living things, grow, respire, reproduce etc. these processes are carried out by cells, which are thus integral to their survival.

Before the discovery of cells by Robert Hooke in 1665 with a simple microscope, many scientists had long believed that life rose spontaneously over extended periods of time. Circa 1668 Francesco Redi, challenged the idea of spontaneous generation of maggots from rotting meat by placing meat in various sealed open, partially sealed and sealed containers. Sealed containers did not show the presence of maggots, and he theorized that these were likely from eggs laid on the meat by flies. This was the development of the theory disproving abiogenesis (cells arise from other living cells); this eventually proved the unifying principle we know today.

Cell theory states that living things are comprised of cells, as their smallest units capable of functioning. Microscopy helps to prove this, as cells and their varying components can readily be seen, observed and later classified.
