Term
Definition
Zaccharias Janssen (1950)   Invention of the first compound microscope.  
🗑
Galileo Galilei (1610)   Popularized the compound microscope and improved the instrument with a focusing device.  
🗑
Robert Hooke (1665)   Improved the resolution and illumination. Micrographia. Slice cork. Cell theory. Matthias Schleiden and Theodor Schwann  
🗑
Anton van Leeuwenhoek (1670s)   Ground & mounted his own lenses. Submitted a series of letters and drawings to Royal Society. Bacteria and Protozoas -> Animalcules.  
🗑
Spontaneous Generation/Abiogenesis   The belief that life could arise spontaneously from non-living matter.  
🗑
Aristotle (384 BC)   "Vital force" in matter.  
🗑
Van Helmont (1577-1644)   Recipe for the manufacture of mice. Concept: Odor can transmute substances.  
🗑
Francesco Redi (1669)   Demonstrated that maggots do not generate spontaneously from decaying meat. Explain his experiment.  
🗑
What was the counter argument for Francesco Redi's maggot experiment?   Fresh air is needed for spontaneous generation.  
🗑
John Needham (1748)   Microorganisms arise from spontaneous generation. Boiled chicken and corn broth -> poured into sealed flasks -> microorganisms appeared.  
🗑
Lazzaro Spallanzani (1767):   Suggested that microbes probably entered Needham's solution after boiling. Explain his experiment.  
🗑
What was Needham's reply to Lazzaro Spallanzani's experiment?   Too much heat destroyed the "vital force" of the nutrient fluid.  
🗑
Rudolf Virchow (1858)   "Living cells can arise only from preexisting living cells." Life comes from Life.  
🗑
Biogenesis - Louis Pasteur   Microorganisms are present in the air; they can contaminate sterile solutions but air itself or nutrient fluids by themselves do not give rise to microbial life.  
🗑
Biogenesis - What was Louis Pasteur first experiment?    
🗑
Biogenesis - What did Louis Pasteur concluded from his first experiment?   Microorganisms in the air were the agents responsible for contaminating non-living matter.  
🗑
Biogenesis - What was Louis Pasteur second experiment?   Open ended long-necked s-shaped flasks  
🗑
Biogenesis - What did Louis Pasteur concluded from his 2nd experiment?   Microbes are present on non-living matter - solids, liquids, air. Microbial life can be destroy by heat.  
🗑
