Microorganisms
|
life forms too small to be seen by unaided eye
|
|
Anthony van Leeuwenhok
|
first to view microorganisms about 300 years ago with a 300X microscope
|
|
spontaneous generation
|
life arises from nonliving material
debunked by: Francesco Redi Louis Pasteur John Tyndall |
|
Fransesco Redi
|
demonstrated that worms in meat arise from the eggs of flys
|
|
Louis Pasteur
|
"father of microbiology"
demonstrated that microorganisms were present in air contaminated infusions (lidquids with nutrients that support microbial growth) swan neck experiment |
|
John Tyndall
|
explained contradictory experiments in which microbes grew in "sterile" environments.
not all cells are killed when boiled - some are heat resistant. endospores are present in infusion |
|
Schwanns Cell Theory
|
all organisms are made up of cells, and a cell is the structural and functional unit of an organ, and ultimately an organism
