- 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.

Arrange them in the correct sequence: First land plants (kingdom Plantae) First eukaryotic life (domain Eukarya) Adaptive radiation of mammals (class Mammalia) Evolution of chloroplasts Cambrian explosion First aerobic organisms (those that utilize cellular respiration) First land vertebrates (tetrapods) First multicellular organisms First living cellsarrow_forwardDescribe how the sudden appearance of oxygen in the atmosphere about 2.5 billion years ago influenced the development of modern life-forms.arrow_forward

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.
