If you were setting up an experiment to disprove spontaneous generation in a liquid medium, which of the following would be essential to the experiment? a) supplying the liquid with nutrientsb) starting with a liquid that contains microorganismsc) adding antibiotics to the liquidd) using a sterile liquid and eliminating exposure to microorganismse) adding carbon dioxide to the liquid

D) using a sterile liquid and eliminating exposure to microorganisms

Explanation:

The theory of spontaneous generation states that living species could generate from a nonliving matter and that such activities is often seen in life. Take for example, it was hypothesized that specific forms like fleas may have generated from nonliving matter like dust, or that maggots generated from dead and nonliving flesh.

Francesco Redi disproved the

Theory of spontaneous generation for large organisms by proving that maggots must have generated from meat mainly when flies happen to lay eggs in the meat.

From the Francesco Redi experiment, we can infer that using a sterile liquid and eliminating exposure to microorganisms will surely disprove spontaneous generation in a liquid medium.

try using substitution:

x + y - 6 = x - y. (i'm not giving you the exact answer). since 0 = x - y, then sub 0 in the equation with x - y. combine your like terms, and then use inverse operations, and you'll have your answer.
