    First, let's add the missing piece of information

    Drag the appropriate items to their respective bins.

    Spontaneous generation

    •Living cells can arise from nonliving matter under favorable conditions.

    •Life can arise spontaneously from nonliving matter.

    •Vital forces in nonliving matter can lead to new life.

    Biogenesis

    •Living cells can arise only from preexisting living cells.

    •Microorganisms present in nonliving matter can lead to new microorganisms.

    •Life can arise as a result of microorganisms present in nonliving matter.

    Explanation:

    Life can commence due to the existence of microorganisms in non-living matter.

    From the way the data is being written in the missing piece of information section to complete the question, it shows it has been rightly correlated as each item to indicate spontaneous generation or biogenesis is well placed in their respective bins.

    By the use of careful experimentation and observation, Louis Pasteur and others have carried out research studies that proved the theory of biogenesis, which is of the view and principle that microorganisms do not begin from mystical forces that is assumed to be found in nonliving matter but can be said to instead originates from other living microorganisms.
