What did the miller-urey experiment do?

Answer 1

The Urey Miller experiment took a mixture of materials thought to be present on earth and energized it by passing and electrical discharge through the material. The important organic molecules that were produced were amino acids and other complex molecules.

Answer 2

The Miller-Urey experiment sought to test the hypothesis that the conditions present on early Earth favored the synthesis of more complex organic compounds from simpler ones. One can use this experiment to illustrate how experiments test hypotheses, and how scientists seek to conduct such experiments multiple independent times before accepting a conclusion.

Answer 3

The Miller-Urey experiment simulated the conditions of early Earth by creating a mixture of gases, such as ammonia, methane, and water vapor, in a closed apparatus and applying energy in the form of electricity. This resulted in the formation of various organic molecules, including amino acids, which are the building blocks of proteins. The experiment provided evidence that the building blocks of life could have formed spontaneously on Earth.

Answer 4

Amino acids were formed when electri sparks were crackled through a gas mixture

Answer 5

Like most experiments - to find out what happened.

Answer 6

It proved that starting with simple chemicals and an electric spark you could make a sludge containing reasonably complex chemicals such as amino acids in a fairly short period of time.
