- the landmark experiment by Miller and Urey, and various repeats of this experiment, did not successfully recreate life itself, but why do we consider the results from this experiment as support for the origin of life on Earth?arrow_forwardThe period of the history of the earth that is referred to as Chemical Evolution was essential for the appearance of life as we know it. This theory asserts that Chemical Evolution is a) confirmed by laboratory experiments, b) occurred without the presence of any living organisms, c) created the conditions needed for primitive life, d) occurred because of the properties of elements and the compounds that they formed. e) All are assertions of this theory.arrow_forward9) Rocks containing fossil evidence have been found in Canada suggesting how life on Earth evolved. What about the rocks led to this belief? A) They contained graphite, a from of pure carbon. B) They contained fossil evidence of human remains. C) They were metamorphic rocks with traces of water.

The setup of Miller and Urey's experiment is shown below. Which conclusion about the origin of life could be drawn from the potential results of this experiment? Life assembled from chemical building blocks. Life began when water vapor became electrified. Life evolved from the DNA of simple unicellular organisms. Life began when salt water caused a mutation in an ancient virus.arrow_forwardFour billion years ago, the Earth was a thin-crusted inferno.
