Rotting meat giving rise to maggots?
Rotting meat can attract flies, which lay eggs on the meat. These eggs hatch into maggots, which feed on the decaying flesh. Maggots play a key role in breaking down the rotting meat, aiding in the process of decomposition.
What experiment in 1668 disproved spontaneous generation showing that organisms arise only from other organisms?
Francesco Redi's experiment. He was an Italian physician. He was the first scientist to challenge the theory of spontaneous generation by demonstrating that maggots come from eggs of flies.At the time, prevailing wisdom was that maggots arose spontaneously from rotting meat. He took three jars: in the first jar, he put an unknown object; in the second, a dead fish; in the last, a raw chunk of meat.Redi covered the tops of the first two jars with fine gauze that only air could get into it. He left the last one open. After several days, he saw maggots appear on the objects in the open jars, on which flies had been able to land, but not in the gauze-covered jars.
What is the shape of a liquid?
A liquid takes the shape of any solid that it is contained within. For example water within a square container will appear square, but water within a triangular container will appear triangular.
What foods do maggots grow the fastest?
Maggots typically grow fastest in decaying flesh, such as meat or animal remains. They thrive in environments with ample moisture and protein-rich food sources. Warm temperatures also promote faster growth of maggots.
What were the experiments that were used to explain the concept of spontaneous generation?
Francesco Redi - One of the first to disprove spontaneous generation. An Italian doctor who proved maggots came from flies. (Italian 1668) Lazzaro Spallanzani - One of the first to disprove spontaneous generation. An Italian scientist who proved microorganisms could be killed by boiling. (Italian 1767) Louis Pasteur - One of the first to disprove spontaneous generation. A French scientist who proved that micro organisms was carried by dust not air. (French 1864) In 1953 Miller and Urey experiment called as electric spark experiment shows how process of formation of organic compounds or first living cell formation occur.

Does a sterile dead body in a concealed room produce maggotts?
Maggots are produced by flies, not by dead bodies. Whether maggots would appear will depend on whether flies land on the body. If the room is merely concealed (i.e. hidden) there's nothing to stop flies getting in. If you mean a sealed, airtight room then maggots would not appear.
DO Flies come from rotten meat because they always appear where meat is rotting?
Flies are attracted to meat and will lay eggs on the meat, where they quickly hatch into maggots. But the flies are not indigenous to the meat.
How do maggots form?
Maggots are fly larvae and hatch from fly eggs. Maggots do not spontaneously appear as many people believe they do.
What was Franceso Redi's Hypothesis about The Appearance of Maggots?
if maggots do not appear In the closed jar, then spontaneous generations not possible.
Why do maggots suddenly appear in swimming pools?
Probably not maggots but mosquito larva. Need to keep your chlorine in check.
Will you have maggots from dead mice?
no. but they appear when flies lay their eggs on foods. maggots turn into flys when they mature
Do maggots eat dead bodies?
Maggot is a general term for the larval form of an insect. They appear 2-5 days after an adult insect lays its eggs. In the case of a deceased animal, flies are usually the source of maggots. The flies lay their eggs after being drawn to the smell of rotting flesh. The eggs hatch into maggots and they get their nutrients from eating the body. This also aids in decomposition. Actually there is a field of forensics called forensic entymology or solving crimes by observing the insects/larva on a body. Each insect has a specific life cycle and the time it takes for the larva to hatch can be diagnostic.
If you die in a completely sanitary room would you get maggots?
If there was absolutely no way for a maggot to get into the room, and no maggots or maggot eggs anywhere in the room or on your person, then there is no way for your body to become infested with maggots. Maggots are a living creature and they can't appear out of thin air, they have to come from somewhere.
Why are flies attracted to rotten meat?
because they always appear where meat is rotting
What do baby flies look like?
Baby flies are called maggots. Maggots are what hatch from fly eggs. Maggots then turn into pupae and finally emerge as house flies. There is really no such thing as baby flies, only flies that may appear smaller in size.
Where can maggots be found?
To find maggots go to a beach. Look mainly in the tide area (where the tide regulary ends when it comes in). dig deep into the sand and maggots will appear. Maggots normally fall into the sea and go under the sand when the tide comes in.
