rain water, feces, material scraped from teeth
devised two-part naming system; father of taxonomy
carolus linnaeus
explain abiogenesis
living organisms arise from nonliving matter
explain biogenesis
origin of life is due to pre-existing life
developers of cell theory
rudolf virchow
theodor schwann
matthias jacob schleiden
proposed theory of biogenesis; observed that cell divide to produce more cells
rudolf virchow
cell theory (3)
all living things are COMPOSED OF CELL
all life functions of an organism OCCUR WITHIN A CELL
all cells come from PRE-EXISTING CELLS
people who proved biogenesis theory
louis pasteur
francesco redi
lazzaro spallanzani
performed test for spontaneous generation (proved that cells can only arsis from pre existing cells)
louis pasteur 1864
golden age of microbiology
1857-1914
microbes is responsible for
fermentation snd spoilage of food
chemical break down of substance by bacteria, yeast and other org. - involving effervescent in the giving of heat
fermentation
produced when bacteria ferments ETHANOL in WINE
vinegar (HAc)
process if heating the object - make it safe ex milk
pasteurization
based on the concept that many diseases are caused by infections w microorganisms
germ theory of disease
laid the notion that diseases could be spread by seed-like entities and were categorized based on how they could be transmitted
Girolamo Fracastoro (1550s)
demonstrated that the disease AFFLICTING SILKWORMS was caused by a parasitic fungus
