A. Experiments in the seventeenth century showed that the idea of spontaneous generation did not apply to large organisms, but many still believed that microorganisms could arise spontaneously.

B. Because boiling broth in sealed flasks prevented the growth of microorganisms, some scientists believed that the spontaneous generation of microorganisms required a "vital force" from the air.

C. The new concept of biogenesis, introduced in the nineteenth century, proposed that microbes required both oxygen and nutrients in order to survive.

D. Opponents of Francesco Redi claimed that his findings were not defensible because some of the jars had been improperly sealed, allowing flies to enter.

E. Spallanzani's experiments were shown to be flawed, because he had used liquids that were contaminated by microbes.

F. Pasteur built on earlier experiments to show conclusively that microorganisms do not arise spontaneously but must come from other living things.
