- Which of the following was the least likely objective of the Urey-Miller experiment? Group of answer choices To demonstrate that oxygen can be produced by plants. To recreate the conditions of the Earth before life existed and produce the molecules necessary for life from primordial inorganic matter (water, methane, ammonia, and carbon dioxide). To build a case (though not necessarily prove) that life can originate from nonliving matter through natural means. To demonstrate that organic molecules like amino acids (building blocks of protein) and nucleotide bases (building blocks of DNA) do not necessarily originate only from living matter. To demonstrate that lightning may have been the essential energy source (early in Earth's evolution) in the production of molecules essential for life.arrow_forwardPlease explain in detail, thxarrow_forwardA team of researchers is interested in testing the amount of oxygen gas (O2) produced when the same species of plant is exposed to different colors of visible light. The research team has developed a hypothesis to test and designed experimental conditions to run. They have submitted the work to you for feedback and approval. Your job is to provide feedback concerning both the hypothesis and the experimental design. This will enable them to make the necessary changes to obtain approval for their research. The Team’s Hypothesis: The levels of oxygen gas will be higher for plants exposed to visible red light. How would you improve the hypothesis while also putting it into a proper hypothesis with an IF and THEN statement?arrow_forward
