6. brown broth rich in amino acids

7. Reducing

8. spontaneous organic compound

9. Amino acids.

Explanation:

Miller and Urey performed experiments to support the "Alexander Oparin's and J. B. S. Haldane's" hypothesis. In their experiment, they combined "Methane (CH4)," ammonia, hydrogen gas, and water in a closed system and "Simulate" it to mimic conditions on early Earth. After stimulating the system with a "Sparkling device" to mimic "Lightning Storm, " they discovered that "brown broth rich in amino acids" was produced. This suggests that early Earth had a "Reducing" atmosphere, leading to redox reactions that catalyzed the "spontaneous organic compound" synthesis of organic monomers such as "Amino acids."

Answer:

Alright.

Explanation:

<em>'2D and 3D refer to the actual dimensions in a computer workspace. 2D is "flat", using the horizontal and vertical (X and Y) dimensions, the image has only two dimensions and if turned to the side becomes a line. 3D adds the depth (Z) dimension.'</em>

Basically, 2D maps are flat (like paper), and 3D maps are not (like a globe).
