Question

Antonie Van Leeuwenhoek is considered to be the first microbiologist. His work was completed before Pasteur's. He was the first to use microscopes to observe and describe single-celled organisms, which he originally referred to as animalcules, and which we now refer to as microorganisms. A. How did Van Leeuwenhoek's work provide the basis for Pasteur's work on disproving the theory of spontaneous generation? B. Explain how the results of Pasteur's S-shaped tube experiment were important in disproving spontaneous generation and how it supported the idea that cells come from preexisting cells. (4 points)
