Louis Pasteur conducted an experiment to answer the question of whether or not living things can arise spontaneously from nonliving materials.In this experiment he used two flasks of sterile broth.How could this demonstrate the invalidity of spontaneous generation?
A) In the flask in which no outside materials could enter,no growth occurred while growth did occur in the flask that allowed outside air to enter,demonstrating that the living things came from outside the sterile broth.
B) No growth occurred in either flask,demonstrating that sterile broth could not promote growth.
C) Both flasks showed growth,demonstrating that spontaneous generation does occur.
D) While both flasks showed growth,the flask that did not allow air to enter showed a higher growth,demonstrating that while spontaneous generation does not occur that it does not take air to permit growth.
E) No growth occurred in either flask,demonstrating that sterilizing the broth removed its nutrients so growth could not occur regardless of whether or not life was present.
