A controlled experiment is when the experimenter can change one variable in the experiment and completely change the results.
Redi experiment involved a closed jar with rotting meat on the inside. He waited for a few days and found no new forms of life in the jar.
He then did the same experiment, but this time he took the lid off the jar. After those few days he found there were maggots in the rotting meat from flies.
This is a great example of a controlled experiment, because he only had to change one variable to completely change the results. In this case that variable was just removing the lid from the jar.
Redi was trying to prove spontaneous generation with his experiment. Although, it failed.
Spontaneous generation: When life forms from non-livings.
Redi disproved spontaneous generation, but proved biogenesis.
Biogenesis: When life comes from other living beings.
He proved biogenesis because the flies had reproduced when the jar was opened.
During week 2 of the menstrual cycle (day 8 to day 14 or
ovulation), estrogen levels rise until it reaches its peak. Typically, days
12-14 have the highest levels of estrogen, which causes an increase in Luteinizing Hormone, which is responsible for the release of the egg cell. If
hormone levels fail to reach its peak before day 14, ovulation is not possible
because the egg cannot be released. Pregnancy may be highly unlikely.
Glucose is virtually the sole fuel for the human brain, except during prolonged starvation. The brain lacks fuel stores, thus requires a continuous supply of glucose. It consumes about 120 g daily which corresponds to an energy input of 420 kcal (1760 KJ), accounting for some 60% of the utilization of glucose by the whole body in the resting state.

Particles in solids move ever so slightly. They are not completely at rest, but since they are so packed together it’s difficult for them to move. That’s what makes a solid a solid. Particles in liquids slide and move past each other fairly quickly, and have space to move. Particles in gases are the most spread apart, and because of this, they move the quickest. Hope this helped.
