Question

Why did Pasteur's work lead to a change in modern cell theory?

Answer 1

He created great controversy among scientists, and to settle the dispute, cell theory was adjusted to include both spontaneous generation and the idea that cells come from pre-existing cells.

His reputation as a great scientist convinced other scientists to accept his work and change cell theory.

His work, which was documented and repeatable, contradicted the accepted cell theory, so a change in the theory was required.

He showed that the broth was composed of micro-organisms which needed air, showing that cells need oxygen for cellular respiration.
