COMPARE: How were the outcomes of Pasteur’s and Redi’s experiments similar?

Redi showed that maggots appeared on meat only when flies could reach it, so the maggots came from flies rather than from the meat itself. Pasteur showed that microorganisms grew in broth only when contamination from existing microorganisms could reach it. Both experiments supported the idea that living things come from other living things, not through spontaneous generation.
