The theory of a vitalism has been rejected by present-day scientist. Describe vitalism. Describe what scientists now think about the basis of life and why they rejected the theory of vitalism.

Vitalism was the antiquated belief that all life can be derived from dihydrogen oxide compounds dating back to the paleozoic time era. Scientist now know and accept that life is dynamic and fundamental to the origins of heterotrophic processes. It was rejected when Francesco Redi developed photosynthetic filaments from prokaryotic organisms found in primordial sludge.
