The Heterotroph Hypothesis is the Hypothesis that offers a possible answer to the nature of the first cell (coacervate) on the planet. If certain conditions existed on earth, a "cell" can be born. Atmosphere: Methane, Ammonia, Water Vapor, Hydrogen, radiation, lightning Oceans (Primordial Soup): Phosphate, Amino Acids, Sugars, Nitrogen By chance, the energy of the radiation and lightning caused the phosphates, AA's, Sugars and Nitrogen to work together and was surrounded by a water membrane. That first primitive cell used the sugars around it for nutrition making it a Heterotroph. This is very simplified but can serve as a basis for the answer. The Miller experiment proves this possible but only if these were the conditions on primordial earth!

The other use of this hypothesis is the positing of heterotrophs arising before autotrophs as the early earth had ab environment more conducive to organisms that utilized both prey and other non-plant materials to survive.

What is the hypothesis that life developed from nonliving matter?
organic evolution
The hypothesis that evolution occurred slowly but steadily is called?
Darwinism
Is pseudopods related to heterotroph or autotrophic?
heterotrophic in very basic, general terms: it "engulfs" it's prey. (like an amoeba!)
What hypothesis proposes that evolution occurs slowly but steadily?
This is the concept of gradualism.
According to the heterotroph hypothesis what contribution did ultraviolet light heat and lightning make to the formation of the first organic molecules?
They provided energy sources.
Does not contain a nucleus?
Prokaryotic cell. Also the first cell according to anerobe heterotroph hypothesis.
Is evolution a theory or hypothesis?
Evolution is an observed and observable fact. The theory of evolution by natural selection explains many things about evolution. The theory generates testable hypothesis, as any good theory does. Remember, theory is the highest concept in science.
The hypothesis that the evolution of different species occurs?
natural selection
What was the hypothesis that was proposed by Darwin?
Darwin invented the theory of evolution
What is life's early evolution know as?
RNA world Hypothesis.
What is the hypothesis that life developed from nonliving matter?
organic evolution
The hypothesis that evolution occurred slowly but steadily is called?
Darwinism
Why is evolution considered a theory and not a hypothesis or a law?
In science, a hypothesis and a theory differs in that a hypothesis is a conjecture based on empirical observation or theoretical derivation yet unproven or by any experimental work, and that a theory is a hypothesis that has been rigorously tested by many researchers and supported by strong evidence. Evolution is a theory that has been repeatedly tested, supported by overwhelming evidence, and can be used to explain natural phenomenon very well.
Is pseudopods related to heterotroph or autotrophic?
heterotrophic in very basic, general terms: it "engulfs" it's prey. (like an amoeba!)
How are a hypothesis and data related?
The hypothesis and the Data are related because the hypothesis is what you think is going to happen, and if you're right, then that becomes the data
What hypothesis proposes that evolution occurs slowly but steadily?
This is the concept of gradualism.
How are hypothesis and conculsion related?
its easy hypothesis is the conclusion of the answers
