Answer:

Answer: Stanley Miller and Herold in 1950, performed an experiment, and they came up with a result that can be formed simultaneously by simulating the condition of the earth's early atmosphere using a designed apparatus which were used to held a mixture of gases similar to those found in earth's early atmosphere dispersing it on a pool of water, which represent earth's early ocean. Electrodes delivered an electric current, simulating lightning, into the gas-filled chamber. After allowing the experiment to run for one week, the contents of the liquid pool were analysed. It was found that several organic amino acids had formed spontaneously from inorganic raw materials. And these molecules collected together in the pool of water to form coacervate.

It's importance for an AP Biology Reader is that it helps with the knowledge that organic molecules needed for life could be formed from inorganic components.

Answer:

The Miller and Urey experiment is a well-known classic experiment in which hypothetical conditions of the early Earth's evolution were simulated to test the possibility of chemical evolution. In fact, this was an experimental test of the hypothesis previously expressed by Alexander Oparin and John Haldane that the conditions that existed on primitive Earth promoted chemical reactions that could lead to the synthesis of organic molecules from inorganic ones. It was held in 1953 by Stanley Miller and Harold Urey. The apparatus designed for the experiment included a mixture of gases corresponding to the notion of the composition of the atmosphere of the early Earth in the 1950s, and electric discharges passing through it (simulating lightning strikes on the ground). The Miller and Urey experiment is considered one of the most important experiments in the study of the origin of life on Earth.

The appearance of a pebbly texture on the surface of a deep wound indicates what process is taking place?
irakobra [83]
In a deep wound, there might be a few layers of tissue that need to be rebuilt because they were lost. In this rebuilding process this pebbly texture can be seen and it indicates that granulation is taking place (that's the process). Granulation is when small blood vessels and capillaries start to develop vertically to the outside part of the wound, being supported by connective tissue, and surrounded by cells of many other types for different purposes, such as immunitary functions or specialised tissue functions. This tissue growing is characteristic of healing and it presents this granulated/pebbly texture to it.

I don't know, maybe because of the way we see animals. Not as our equal parts

Jasmine earned $150 last week.Jay earned $130 last week. they combined their money and decided to donate 1/4 of their total amou
vova2212 [387]
Last night Jasmine and Jay amount combined is $150+$130=$280
amount donated to charity is 1/4 of $280= $70
amount spent at an amusement park is` 40/100 x $210= $84
the remaining money = 280- (70+84)= $126

35% of their original amount is 35/100x$280=$98

so Jay's claim is not correct because the remaining money is $126 and not $98 as she Jay claims.

how does the number of chromosomes in a sex cell compare with the number of chromosomes in body cells?
Oksi-84 [34.3K]
<span>Meiosis reduces chromosome number so that sex cells (eggs and sperm) have a half set of chromosomes–one homolog of each pair. This is the haploid number. CONGRATULATIONS! YOU'RE SO SMART!</span>
