That chemical molecules and gases could have combined on the early Earth to form the more complex compounds found in living things.
He has been called the " Charles Darwin " of the 20th century, but his greatest interest was in abiogenesis and that rather from a dialectal materialistic perspective.
Louis Pasteur was the one who used a swan necked flask to show that when particles were not allowed to touch boiled broth, it would not turn cloudy, but that when it was open to air, cloudiness quickly appeared.
he believed that there was a storm including lighting which split apart the gases and they combined to form new compounds. it also rained which added oxygen to the Earth so when the elements recombined they would have oxygen. theses new compounds were known as amino acids
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.
Alexander Oparin was born on 1894-03-02.
The name of Alexander oparin experiment on simple cellular algae is called accetabullaria
That chemical molecules and gases could have combined on the early Earth to form the more complex compounds found in living things.
Oparin suggested that the atmosphere of early Earth was composed of methane, ammonia, hydrogen, and water vapor. He also thought lightning and energy from the sun helped these gases to combine, he thought life was made from that.
Oxygen
Oparin believed that there was one molecule lightning strike and then the gases developed
The concept of chemical evolution was proposed by Russian biochemist Alexander Oparin in the 1920s. Oparin suggested that life on Earth evolved from simple organic compounds through a series of chemical reactions in a reducing atmosphere.
Alexander Ivanovich Oparin was a Soviet biochemist who, in 1924, put forward a coherent theory for the origin of life through gradually increasing sophistication of biochemical change in his book The Origin of Life.
Oparin's hypothesis suggested that early Earth's atmosphere lacked free oxygen. Instead, it consisted of gases like methane, ammonia, hydrogen, and water vapor.
In 1924, Aleksandr Oparin (and John Haldane separately in 1929) hypothesized that the formation of amino acids and proteins from non-living chemicals, a process known as "abiogenesis", could have occurred in the conditions present shortly after the formation of the Earth. This process would not be observable now because other organisms would absorb created proteins, which would be rare anyway due to the higher concentration of oxygen in Earth's current atmosphere. Oparin's Hypothesis (also called the Oparin-Haldane Hypothesis) remains unconfirmed as a possible source for life on Earth. Experiments that simulated past conditions on the Earth did generate some simple amino acids, but not in the form or complexity of organic proteins.
Oparin's hypothesis on the origin of life was tested experimentally through Stanley Miller's famous experiment in 1953, where he simulated the conditions of early Earth and observed the formation of organic molecules like amino acids from inorganic chemicals. This experiment provided evidence that the basic building blocks of life could have formed spontaneously under the conditions believed to exist on early Earth, supporting Oparin's hypothesis.
