What does Miller and Urey's experiment tell us about the organic compounds needed for life?

This experiment tells us that a few amino acids could be created in a sterile environment of glass test tubes over a few weeks, demonstrating that it is possible for complex organic molecules to form spontaneously under abiotic conditions.

What nutrients needed by the human body are NOT organic compounds?
minerals
Who uses photosynthesis?
Photosynthesis is used for food for plants Photosynthesis is used for production of organic compounds from carbon dioxide and water. These organic compounds serve as food material to plants and animals.
What organic compounds are all organism's bodies made of?
Lipid (even in the simplest form of life, lipid is present in the plasma membrane.Carbohydrates (sugar is needed for energy)Proteins (makes up and functions in many parts of the cell)Nucleic acid (control, reproduction)
Why did mendels use pure lines in his experiment?
He needed a control group. *Apex*
You are not quit clear how protobionts have developed as the origin of life?
Protobionts are naturally arising cell-like but not alive structures that spontaneously form in mixtures of abiotically generated organic molecules. The Fox and Oparin experiments show conditions in the early Earth can lead to their formation. The Miller-Urey and similar experiments show how early conditions on earth can lead to the complex organic molecules like saccharides and nucleotides that are needed to form protobionts.
What nutrients needed by human body are not organic compounds?
minerals
What Organic compounds that store information needed for making proteins?
organs
What nutrients needed by the human body are NOT organic compounds?
minerals
What are three elements included in all organic compounds?
The three components that are needed to create small organic molecules are carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. These cells contain organic molecules and are essential to life.
Why is carbon in all organic compounds?
Because it is one of the few elements needed to sustain life.
What are 3 organic compounds in cellular respiration?
The role of organic compounds in cellular respiration is to start cellular respiration. Cellular Respiration is a process that creates ATP. So, in order to create ATP you'll need organic compounds. Organic Compounds are converted into ATP during Cellular Respiration. This is the role of organic compound in cellular respiration.
Which elements must all organic compounds contain?
All organic compounds contain the element carbon. By definition, organic chemistry is the study of chemical compounds that contain Carbon (C).
How do organic compounds get their name?
Organic compounds are so called because they are associated with living things. It was thought that they could only be made in living organisms because they required some type of vital force. We now know that isn't necessarily true, they are just complex. Individual organic compounds got their names in many different ways, though we now try to name them systematically.
What is needed to transfer and release energy?
Cellular respiration is the process of converting and releasing energy. In order to do this, organisms need organic compounds and oxygen.
Which organic compounds are needed ofr the synthesis of the plasma membrane contain a large amount of energy and linkeked to cardiovascular diseases?
saturated fats
What equipment qould be needed to perform this experiment?
What equipment was needed for this experiment
What elements is needed to form organic compounds in a cell?
Carbon, Hydrogen, nitrogren, phosphorus, sulfur, oxygen: to form carbohydates, proteins, lipides, nucleic acids, peptides
