-
All known organisms are either animals or plants This leads to the belief, because without the thought of animals or plants being organisms, then we wouldn’t think of organisms we can’t see.
-
He invented a compound microscope that made it easier and more practical while observing cells. This led to the belief of spontaneous generation, because without a microscope, we wouldn’t be able to see different types of microscopic things that we can’t see with the naked eye.
-
He placed a dirty shirt
With some rice, and claimed that in 21 days, mice will be created. This rejects the belief, because mice will not be created in that way. -
He observed living matter through a compound microscope, seeing cork like cells. This leads to the belief, because the cells by looking into a microscope, which later leads to spontaneous generation
-
Observed bacteria and blood cells through a complex microscope This led to the belief of spontaneous generation, because this allowed us to discover bacteria, which is a part of spontaneous generation.
-
All living organisms originate from and consist of cells This led to the belief, because it talks about living organisms
-
Discovered that plants were made of cells This leads to the belief, because with the belief that he had, it leads to the belief that there are other things made of cells.
-
All animals are made up of cells This leads to the belief, because with the belief that he had, it leads to creating a microscope to see these cells.
-
Sperm cells and egg cells are also cells This leads to the belief, because talks about the sperm and egg cells, which are in different types of organisms.
-
He discovered that cells are the last link in a great chain that forms tissues, organs, systems, and individuals. Where a cell exists, there must have been a preexisting cell. This led to the belief, because it got them to think that if these are also made up of cells, then other things smaller should be made up of them too.
-
Discovered the nucleus This leads to the belief, because it still goes along with the microscope.
-
Discovered germ It helped lead to the belief of spontaneous generation, because germs and bacteria is a part of that.
-
developed the first analytical ultracentrifuge This leads to the belief, because an ultacentrifuge allows scientists to find biological particles, viruses, organelles, membranes and biomolecules such as DNA, RNA and lipoproteins, which can help with spontaneous generation.
-
produced the first electron microscope. This leads to the belief, because the electron microscope will help with spontaneous generation.
