For most of the first 1,800 years in the common era, most people, including scholars, did not believe in sexual or asexual reproduction for many organisms. They thought many creatures, including frogs and mice, came from nonliving things. This was the theory of spontaneous generation. For example, maggots were believed to simply appear in meat as it spoiled. Today we know that maggots come from eggs that were laid on or in the meat by their mothers. Louis Pasteur proved that living organisms do not just appear. Broth that is left sitting out for a while will grow cloudy as small organisms live and grow in it. Louis Pasteur boiled broth and let it cool without coming into contact with any "particles" in the air. Broth treated that way did not grow cloudy.

Louis Pasteur's experiment showed that small organisms that live in broth do not come from the broth itself. Which of the following best describes this statement and how it changed what scientists know?
A.
It is a scientific theory of how life begins that fits the facts better than spontaneous generation.
B.
It is a scientific observation that goes against the theory of spontaneous generation, so the theory must be wrong.
C.
It is a set of detailed observations of how single-celled organisms live and reproduce.
D.
It is a result that was predicted by the theory of sexual reproduction, proving that theory to be correct.

The answer to your question really depends on three things: how much water you have, how cold it is to start out, and how cold the things around it are. water actually freezes when it gets to 32 degrees fahrenheit (0 degrees celsius), but the time it takes to get there may be different.  let's start with the first. if you take two glasses, and fill one with a tiny bit of water, and the other about halfway, then put them both in the freezer, the one with less water will freeze first (you can try this at home, but i recommend using plastic cups and not glass ones).  now let's move on to the second part. let's say you have two glasses, and you fill one with really cold water that has been in the refrigerator, and the other with really hot water from the sink. if you put both of them in the freezer, the one that started out colder will freeze first.  for the third part, let's imagine that you have two glasses with the same amount of water in them, and the water is at the same temperature. imagine putting one outside on a really really cold day in georgia, and having a friend in alaska put one outside on the same day. since it would be so much colder in alaska, the glass of water there would freeze before yours.  so, if you took a tiny bit of really cold water in a glass, and put it outside on a cold day in alaska, it would freeze a lot faster than a big glass of hot water outside on a cold day in georgia.
