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.

Hello Pls help me answer this science question . And a extra five points and the brainiest.
Rudiy27
This answer is B because it is not made up of cells, the easiest way to know this is because viruses are much smaller than a single cell, meaning its impossible for it to have cells or be a living organism.

After taking antibiotics for several weeks, a patient develops a severe bacterial infection in his intestines. The doctor claims
Leokris [45]

Answer:

Before the antibiotic, the ‘good’ bacteria had colonized her intestines and formed colonies that made up her biome. These colonies out-compete other bacteria, including ‘bad’ bacteria that tried to grow in the intestines hence protecting her intestines from infection.

However, the antibiotics wiped out the established colonies of ‘good’ bacteria –destroying her biome- and gave room for recolonization of the intestines by bacteria. The secondary succession gave a chance for the ‘bad’ bacteria to also thrive and cause her massive infections.

What are the ten biomes, and what appears to be the most prominent biome in North America, South America, Asia, Africa, Australi
NikAS [45]
Well, the ten biomes are:
Tropical Rainforests, Sub-tropical rainforests, savanna, tundra, arctic, boreal forests, conniferous forests, mediterrean, grassland, and desert. I'm doing this off the top of my head, but I know that Africa is mostly savanna. South America is mostly rainforest and Austrailia is mostly desert. The poles North/South are mostly frozen and tundras are the closest lands outside the arctic/anarctic circles. Other places will have a variety of biomes.
Hope this helps!
