According to most theories about the evolution of early life on earth, the atmosphere had an abundance of ammonia, methane, and

carbon dioxide, shown above. Free energy from lightning could have allowed chemical reactions to occur that generated the precursors to life on earth. Which inorganic molecule(s) are accurately paired with their role in the formation of organic molecules necessary to life?
A) Ammonia would have provided the nitrogen found in the amine groups of amino acid and the nitrogenous bases in DNA.

B) Methane would have provided the hydrogen to form water, a universal solvent for chemical reactions supporting life.

C) Ammonia would have provided the electrons to generate ATP using an electron transport chain within the mitochondria.

D) Carbon dioxide would have provided the oxygen needed to perform photosynthesis, resulting in the production of glucose.

Answer:

A

Explanation:

<em>The correct option would be </em><em>A.</em>

<u>The presence of ammonia in the atmosphere of primitive earth provided the nitrogen found in the amine groups of amino acid and the nitrogenous bases in DNA. This has been proven through the simulation experiment of the primitive earth's atmosphere by Stanley Miller and Harold Urey.</u>

The water in the primitive atmosphere was formed from the condensation of water vapour from volcanoes that were characterics of the earth's environment while oxygen in itself is not needed for photosynthesis but a by-product of it.

Licemer1 [7]

A batsman is unlikely to score a century in every cricket match. This is an example of "partial reinforcement".

<u>Option: C</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Unlike constant reinforcement, partial reinforcement is only strengthened during certain times or time ratios, rather than emphasizing the action every single time. This method of arranging reinforcement is also called intermittent reinforcement after certain number of correct answers or certain interval of time. Thus here a batsman donot plan intentionally to make a century in every cricket match, but it goes random. Although when they need to score high on pressure, they force themselves to stretch as much possible which is not general.
