What did Redi's and Pasteurs experiments prove?
Redi's and Pasteur's experiments both conclusively proved that life does not arise spontaneously from non-living matter, demonstrating the principle of "life only comes from life" by showing that maggots on meat come from fly eggs laid on the meat, and microbes in a broth only appear when exposed to pre-existing microorganisms.
Two examples of homeostasis in the human body
Temperature and Pulse? Temperature, is regulated by sweating, pulse increases to get more oxygen moving through the body.
