The following is a synthesis sequence or progression that is a hypothesis for Chemical evolution: elements, ionic and covalent bonding to form simple molecules, these simple molecules form simple organic monomers, the monomers undergo dehydration synthesis to form bio polymers, formation of micelles (Pre cells). This concept a) can only be observed in living cells, b) is a theory that proves that life could not evolve on other planets. c) is a hypothetical model that can be confirmed in the laboratory, d) is a hypothesis that has no supporting evidence from rocks that predate the presence of cells in the fossil record. e) These are all true.
