Step 1
He boiled the broth to kill any existing microorganisms and then allowed it to cool. The swan-neck flask allowed air to enter but prevented dust and microorganisms from entering the broth. Over time, no microorganisms grew in the broth, indicating that they did Show more…

What new piece of evidence, supporting biogenesis, was provided by Pasteur's experiment? A) S-necked flasks prevented both microorganisms from contaminating the broth and air from entering the flasks. B) S-necked flasks prevented microorganisms from contaminating the broth, even though air still entered the flasks. C) Pasteur's experiments with S-necked flasks supported the hypothesis that microorganisms are not found in the air. D) Pasteur set up an experiment with both open and sealed flasks, thus employing a control or standard of comparison.
