Answer asap! in 1953, miller and urey constructed an experiment that attempted to mimic the conditions leading to the formation of biomolecules on early earth. part a: construct a hypothesis statement that miller and urey might have made prior to conducting their experiment. use an “if, then” format to write your statement. part b: describe in detail their experiment. include what they used to simulate the conditions of early earth, and what their results were.

Part A:

If early conditions of primeval earth had ammonia, methane, hydrogen in its atmosphere, then it is possible that amino acids such as glycine, α-alanine, and β-alanine may have been spontaneously formed from chemical reactions spurred by energy from lightning.

Their hypothesis was that the early conditions of primeval earth favored the spontaneous formation of organic molecules, from inorganic precursors, that may have been the origin of life. This theory is called abiogenesis.

Part B:

[ answer ]

foliated

[ explanation ]

foliation forms in a rock when pressure squeezes the rock together. the rock then has a design of many different color little lines. there are three types of foliated rock. the types are slate, schist, and gneiss. each type of foliated rock is different based on grain size and foliation characteristics. the lines appear when the rock has been under pressure.
