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.

skad [1K]

Answer:

The correct option is <u>B. Lipids</u>

Explanation:

Lipids can be described as molecules which dissolve in non-polar solvents and cannot dissolve in water. The biological function of a lipid molecule is to store energy as well as to structure the shape of cell membranes. Lipids are also used in a cell for signalling.

Lipids are made up of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. Some lipids might have phosphorus in them like the phospholipids which make up the cell membrane.

What are the building blocks (subunits)of each biomolecule?
Mamont248 [21]
<span>The four biological macromolecules are carbohydrates, lipids, proteins and nucleic acid. These macromolecules are known as polymers and are built when monomers join together by a process known as the dehydration reaction. The dehydration reaction is a chemical reaction that produces water (H2O) and the result is the covalent bonding of the two monomer molecules. The monomer molecules consist of nutrients found in the soil, as in the case of plants, and the intake of food as in the case of animals.
