Answer:
The answer is B. Some organic molecules, including amino acids, could have been produced from chemical reactions on early Earth.
Explanation:
Miller-Urey Experiment:
The Miller-Urey experiment was an attempt to explain the origin of life on Earth. Miller-Urey simulated the primordial soup i.e. the environment of primitive Earth to prove the spontaneous generation of organic molecules. The conditions they introduced included:
- A methane-ammonia-hydrogen and water mixture that exactly simulated the primordial soup.
- A spark of 70,000 volts that simulated lightening.
- A temperature of 800 degree Celsius.
Observations:
- After running for 18 days, the final solution was examined for presence of organic molecules.
- Miller-Urey observed that most of the methane and ammonia had been consumed and the mixture contained carbon monoxide and nitrogen.
- The solution further contained 25 amino acids (mainly, glycine, alanine and aspartic acid)
, several fatty acids
, hydroxy acids and amide products.
The experiment concluded that simple organic compounds such as amino acids could have been formed through spontaneous generation under the Earth's primitive environmental conditions.
Answer:
The answers to both parts (1 and 2) are given below.
Explanation:
1. The calorimeter is similar to the bomb calorimeter in a way that both measure the changes in heat that occur as result of the chemical reaction taking place inside them. They are different in the sense that a bomb calorimeter provides an isolated system with constant volume and pressure, whereas a regular calorimeter allows pressure to equalize with the environment.
2. Carbohydrates are the molecules that break down and provides energy for cellular functions. Whereas, proteins are not meant for the production of energy but for the production of amino acids to function as structural units for protein synthesis. Simply, the breakdown of protein is for the synthesis of more proteins by providing several units of amino acids rather than the production of energy.
Answer:B
Explanation: The movement of metals in earths core and earths rotation are the two processes involved in the formation of Earths magnetic field. Hope this helps!
