Summary Introduction
To review:
The arguments in favor of and against the existence of life on planets beyond Earth.
Introduction:
The origin of life on early Earth has been explained by numerous scientists as well as intellectuals. Different hypotheses have been given in order to explain life and its origin on Earth. The Miller-Urey experiment was the most successful experiment that demonstrated the chemical origin of life.

Present three possible explanations for the origin of life.
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?
“Life has profoundly changed the Earth.” Explain whether or notthese experimental results support this statement.

Group of answer choices The experiment was an important breakthrough in the study of the origin of life. The experiment conifirmed that several of the key molecules of life could have been synthesised naturally on the primitive Earth. The amino acids and other molecules produced in the experiment, and possibly present in the early atmosphere, could have participated in 'prebiotic' chemical processes, ultimately creating life. This experiment, and others which followed, suggests that simple biologically significant molecules can evolve naturally under sets of conditions that may have existed not only on early Earth, but potentially elsewhere in the solar system and beyond. The experiment was the first demonstration of abiogenesis (life from non-life).arrow_forwardwhy do we conclude the universe is expandingarrow_forward
