9.What evidence do we have for the origin of life from inanimate matter? |
Answer» An experiment conducted byStanley L. Miller and Harold C. Ureyin 1953 proved that origin of life takes place from inanimate matter. They assembled an apparatus to create an early earth-like atmosphere which was supposed to consist of gases like methane, ammonia and hydrogen sulphide but no oxygen, over water.This was maintained at a temperature just below 100°C and sparks were passed through the mixture of gases to stimulate lightning. At the end of a week, 15% of the carbon from methane had been converted to simple compounds of carbon including amino acids which make up protein molecules. |
