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.
The correct answer is the status quo.
When translated from Latin, it literally means 'the state in which,' so it refers to the state in which nothing changes, which remains constant all the time, the normal state of affairs. It is a term often used in political or social issues within societies.
Answer:
At the 5th trophic level would be <em>quaternary</em> consumers that eat <em>tertiary </em>consumers.
Explanation:
Producers include photosynthetic organisms such as plants and algae. They are eaten by primary consumers (herbivores). Secondary consumers include omnivores and predators that prey on primary consumers. Tertiary consumers include omnivores and predators that prey on primary and secondary consumers. Quaternary consumers include omnivores and predators that prey on all lower trophic levels.
