In the natural sciences, abiogenesis, or origin of life, is the study of how life on Earth could have arisen from inanimate matter. It should not be confused with evolution, which is the study of how living things change over time. Amino acids, often called "the building blocks of life", occur naturally, due to chemical reactions unrelated to life. In all living things, these amino acids are organized into proteins, and the construction of these proteins is mediated by nucleic acids. Thus the question of how life on Earth originated is a question of how the first nucleic acids arose.
Some facts about the origin of life are well understood, others are still the subject of current research. The first living things on Earth are thought to be single cell prokaryotes. The oldest ancient fossil microbe-like objects are dated to be 3.5 Ga (billion years old), just a few hundred million years younger than Earth itself.[1][2] By 2.4 Ga, the ratio of stable isotopes of carbon, iron and sulfur shows the action of living things on inorganic minerals and sediments[3][4] and molecular biomarkers indicate photosynthesis, demonstrating that life on Earth was widespread by this time.[5][6]
On the other hand, the exact sequence of chemical events that led to the first nucleic acids is not known. Several hypotheses about early life have been proposed, most notably the iron-sulfur world theory (metabolism without genetics) and the RNA world hypothesis (RNA life-forms).

No. The prefix bio- means life. The biosphere is all life on Earth. The Greek prefix for water is hydro-, so the hydrosphere comprises all of Earth's water.
Er ... which planet exactly do you think that we come from? As far as science can discover, Earth IS the only planet with life on it, so you're asking how far Earth is from Earth.
Four events that had to happen before life could form on Earth include the formation of the Earth from cosmic dust and gas, the cooling of the Earth's surface to support liquid water, the development of an atmosphere with essential gases like oxygen, and the emergence of organic molecules through chemical reactions.
The biosphere is formed by all the ecosystems on Earth. It is the layer of Earth where life exists and includes all living organisms and their surroundings. The biosphere plays a crucial role in maintaining the balance of life on our planet.
The sun's energy, which supports life, is transmitted to Earth in the form of?
the simplest form of life known is moneran..
Prokaryotes.
Earths first life form may be non photosynthetic bacteria.
Since the center of the Earth is in the molted form, it can not support life. Thus, it is not possible for life to exist on the center of the Earth.
yes.
Cells/Bacteria.
Water!
Earth is the only planet known in our solar system where life is present.
Life is defined by the ability to metabolise, grow and most importantly to procreate or multiply. Supposedly, the first life on earth came in the form of coacervates.
Yes, Earth
