Answer:

C It moves in an orbit around Jupiter.

Explanation:

A moon is a natural satellite of some planet and is recognized as the star that circulates around a main planet, that is, does not orbit around a star, that is, to be considered moon, the star must move in a orbit around a planet. Some moons are larger than some major planets, such as Ganymede and Titan, natural satellites of Jupiter and Saturn, respectively, which are larger than Mercury. Thus, if the orbit of these moons were around the Sun, they could be considered as planets, but their orbits are around the planet Jupiter or Saturn, so they are considered moons.

Compare and contrast the evidence that supports the two hypotheses describing how long, complex molecules that carry information
Rudiy27

Oparin and Haldane's theory and Miller's experiment are the proof that long complex molecules that carry information such as DNA, might have formed on early earth.

Explanation:

Oparin and Haldane Hypothesis states that life on Early earth could have evolved by chemical evolution.

Oparin and Haldane said that the reducing atmosphere of the early earth caused simple inorganic molecules to react by using sunlight and formed molecules like amino acids and nucleotides.

These monomers combined to form polymers, they would have attained self-replicating tendency eventually these would have assembled into structures and these macromolecules had also made membrane-bound organelle.

Although this hypothesis is not fully accepted but part of it which talks about formation of molecules is accepted.

Millers and Urey in their experiment created an artificial reducing environment like that of early earth. They used a heated pool of water, atmospheric gases like H2O,CH4,N2, NH4 and sparks of electricity. After running the experiment for some days they found that amino acids, sugars, lipids and other organic molecules had formed.

Their hypothesis is not fully accepted but part of is evident that organic building block is formed from inorganic constituent on the earth.
