A controlled experiment is when the experimenter can change one variable in the experiment and completely change the results.
Redi experiment involved a closed jar with rotting meat on the inside. He waited for a few days and found no new forms of life in the jar.
He then did the same experiment, but this time he took the lid off the jar. After those few days he found there were maggots in the rotting meat from flies.
This is a great example of a controlled experiment, because he only had to change one variable to completely change the results. In this case that variable was just removing the lid from the jar.
Redi was trying to prove spontaneous generation with his experiment. Although, it failed.
Spontaneous generation: When life forms from non-livings.
Redi disproved spontaneous generation, but proved biogenesis.
Biogenesis: When life comes from other living beings.
He proved biogenesis because the flies had reproduced when the jar was opened.
DNA is a COMBINATION of molecules called nucleotides. Each nucleotide contains a phosphate group, a sugar group and a nitrogen base.
The target cells of FSH are the Sertoli cells of the testes and the granulosa cells of the ovary.
A panther because it eats the primary consumer which would be the deer.
an oak tree is the producer (bottom of the food chain)
the deer is the primary consumer because it eats grass which would also be a producer
and the hawk would be the top predator because it eats a snake which would eat a mouse which would feed on a producer :)
