Water contains oxygen. The Miller-Urey experiment used some water and was energy activated using some electrical discharge intended to simulate lightning conditions, believed to induce reactions in the inanimate matter used to produce chemical reactions that created compounds believed to be consistent with what were needed to form a complete initial organism.

The electrical discharge, if intense enough, is sufficient to induce electrolysis, which separates water into H and O, but the amount of O produced was not large enough to fundamentally negatively affect the experiment. Nevertheless, the experiment used the wrong basic inanimate matter, principally the atmosphere, and did not produce the essential compounds to show viability in creating the conditions for the origin of life.

For giving you understanding ; we need Free O2 but Oxygen is also available in H20 right why dont we use it !!

As the early atmosphere was reducing as there was no free oxygen but it was later produced by chemoautotrophic bacteria !! Living thing release O2 in atmosphere thus making it oxidising in nature and then life evolves !!

The word “cumulative” means that something builds on itself. Which example best shows how scientific knowledge is cumulative?
adell [148]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Cumulative means that someone came up with an idea first and someone later built an idea off of that.  Kepler basing his laws off of Newton's laws is the only option that uses cumulative knowledge.  Everything else is either completely independent or working together neither of which is cumulative.

A teacher gives her students four different liquids commonly found in the kitchen - vinegar, apple juice, dish detergent, and mi
emmainna [20.7K]

Use the pH color scale. It shows acidity level of both acids and bases. You dip one of the pH strips into whatever liquid you choose, and then compare the new color of the pH strip to the colors on the scale. This will tell you the level of acidity. pH scale can be found below. As you can see, the brighter colors are more acidic than the darker and duller colors.
