Question

I will fan you and give you a medal if you help me with just this problem.



Most scientists think that life arose spontaneously from nonliving chemicals in the primordial soup of ancient earth. The formation of life from nonliving material is defined as spontaneous generation. Stanley Miller conducted an experiment to test the hypothesis of spontaneous generation. How did the experiment of Stanley Miller support the hypothesis of spontaneous generation of living organisms?

Answer 1

I think you mean abiogenesis. Spontaneous generation was disproved by Pasteur. Miller showed that the building blocks of biologic systems could be produced from the mix of conditions present on the early Earth. This gave support to the idea of abiogenesis.

Answer 2

I don't Know if this helps but I hope it does and sorry if it doesn't.

Answer 3

The experiment showed that given enough time and the right chemical environment, simple chemical compounds can form more complex structures with new characteristics and capabilities. Theses new structures where amino-acids, which are the fundamental building blocks of cellular life. Spontaneous generation was not disproved by Pasteur, he just proved that fermentation was not caused by spontaneous generation, but rather microbial growth in nutrients

Answer 4

How is this computer science? This is more Biology.
