Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This idea, known as vitalism, was disproven by the experiments of Friedrich Wöhler, who synthesized urea (an organic compound found in urine) in 1828 without using any living organisms or "vital force." Since then, numerous other organic compounds have been synthesized in the laboratory without the need for a living organism or vital force.
