I think you have Miller and Urey confused with someone else.
by doing their experiment they found protein and aft sacs
Miller and Urey's experiments attempted to demonstrate the chemical origins of life. They first conducted the experiment in the year 1953.
A simulation of the origin of life.
Oparin's hypothesis proposed that Earth's early atmosphere could have supported the formation of organic molecules, providing the foundational idea for Miller and Urey's experiment. Miller and Urey's experiment aimed to simulate early Earth conditions and demonstrated that organic molecules, including amino acids, could indeed be produced in a laboratory setting, supporting Oparin's hypothesis.
Miller and Urey's experiment demonstrated that organic compounds necessary for life, such as amino acids, could be formed from inorganic molecules under conditions similar to early Earth. This provided support for the theory that the building blocks of life could have arisen spontaneously on the primordial Earth.
it happend on christmas day. it was a big suprise
1. Miller and Urey's organic experiments suggested how mixtures of the organic compounds necessary for life could have arisen from simpler compounds present on a primitive earth haha i found this in our textbook, miller levines textbook :PP
The purpose of the Miller-Urey experiment was to simulate the conditions of early Earth to investigate the origins of life. They wanted to test whether organic molecules, such as amino acids, could be formed from inorganic compounds under these conditions.
Organic compounds will not form in the Miller-Urey apparatus if O2 is present because oxygen would react with the organic molecules produced, inhibiting the formation of more complex organic compounds. The early Earth's atmosphere was believed to be devoid of oxygen, which allowed for the formation of organic compounds in the Miller-Urey experiment.
