PRESENTATION OUTLINE

LOUIS PASTEUR

  • He took two flasks and filled them with broth from soup.
  • He had one that was straight necked and had one that was 'S' shaped.
  • He boiled the broth for a couple days and left it at room temperature.
  • He then saw that the one with a straight neck was cloudy and the one in a 'S' form was normal.

WHAT HE CONCLUDED

  • Pasteur said that if spontaneous generation had been a real phenomenon the broth in the curved-neck flask would have eventually become reinfected because the germs would have generated.
  • But the curved-neck flask never became infected, indicating that the germs could only come from other germs.

MILLER AND UREY

  • This experiment with a flask chamber.
  • Miller and Urey pumped a mixture of gases into that were present in Earth's atmosphere .
  • An electric current was dish discharged through a condenser to correct any liquid products.
  • This resulted in the creation of coacervates.
