Biology
1 answer:
Basile [38]3 years ago
7 0

An open system includes the transfer and exchange of both matter and energy with the system's surroundings. All of the systems on Earth are classified as open systems. However, the Earth system as a whole is considered a closed system because there is a limit to how much matter is exchanged.

The cell theory eventually replaced the concept of spontaneous generation as a result of what experimental evidence?
Arisa [49]

<u>Answer:-</u> <em>Option C </em>- evidence that microorganisms cannot grow in boiled broth when new organisms were not allowed to enter.

<u>Explanation:-</u>

  • <em>Theory of spontaneous generation</em> stated that the living organisms can be created from non living matter. However, this theory was disapproved and replaced by the <em>cell theory</em> which stated that all living organisms are created from cells and new cells arise from pre-existing cells.
  • There were several experiments conducted by various scientists to disapprove the theory of spontaneous generation however, the experiment that was most successful to do so was the one conducted by <em>Louis Pasteur</em> in 1859.
  • <em><u>Description of the experiment:-</u></em>

-In his experiment, Pasteur boiled a meat broth in a flask (it was known that boiling the broth kills the micro organisms) and then heated the neck of the flask to bend into a S- shape.

The purpose of the S shaped neck was to allow the air to enter into the flask but not the micro-organisms as the micro organisms will settle by gravity in the neck and not reach into the flask.

<em>observations of the experiment</em> :-

1. Pasteur observed that even though the air entered the flask no micro organisms were growing in the flask.

2. Further,when he tilted the flask so that the broth came in contact with the part of the neck where the air borne microorganisms could have settled he was able to observe microbial growth in the flask.

These observations laid the theory of spontaneous generation to rest and proved that <em>organisms can only grow in the presence of pre-existing cells </em>which in this case were the microorganisms.

What is the spreading of tumor cells to distant parts of the body via blood and lymph referred to as? A) Mitosis. B) Metastasis.
Alisiya [41]
<span>The correct answer is 'metastasis'. This is the migration of cancer cells from one place to another in the body. They do this by travelling through the blood stream or the lymphatic system. Mitosis is the process of asexual cell division. It produces cells that are identical to the original cell as one cell divides into two after replicating its organelles and genetic information. (Mitosis makes my toes.) Apoptosis is controlled cell death. When cells are getting old then they need to be replaced. Old cells are programmed to 'die' at the correct time. The cell contents are recycled to make new cells.</span>
