A) Pasteur B) Redi C) van Leeuwenhoek D) Tyndall E) Hooke 4) The idea of spontaneous generation postulated that A) organisms could evolve into the next generation of organisms. B) organisms could spontaneously turn into other types of organisms. C) living organisms could spontaneously arise from non-living material. D) living organisms could spontaneously arise from other living organisms. E) living organisms must contain at least ten cells. 5) Which of these scientists were involved in investigating the idea of spontaneous generation?

B) explained why some spontaneous generation investigators got different results from those of Pasteur. C) showed that all microbes caused spontaneous disease if they enter the human body. D) allowed scientists to see microorganisms (called "animalcules") using a simple microscope. E) showed that boiling fails to kill vegetative bacteria, leading to biogenesis. 7) The structures present in the hay infusions used in experiments on spontaneous generation that made them difficult to sterilize are .
