In the 1950s, scientists Miller and Urey conducted a classic experiment in which water, methane, ammonia, and hydrogen were sealed in a flask containing a pair of electrodes. An electric spark was fired between the electrodes, and after a week's time, they found that aminc acids were present in the flask. Which of the following best explains the significance of this experiment in explaining the origin of life on Earth? It showed that any raw materials could produce the compounds necessary for life to exis on early Earth. A.
