Answer:

The source of the oxygen in amino acids was water (H2O).

Explanation:

The Miller-Urey experiment was a chemical experiment in which the hypothetical conditions present on the early Earth were simulated. This experiment was conducted in order to test what kind of environment would be needed to allow life to begin. The experiment is considered to be the classic experiment on the origin of life. It was conducted in 1953 by two scientists; Stanley L. Miller and Harold C. Urey.

In this experiment Miller and Urey placed water (H2O), methane (CH4), ammonia (NH3) and hydrogen (H2) into an enclosed  chamber. The chamber was set up to mimic the atmosphere of the early Earth, with a reducing environment and high amounts of energy (lightning storms and high temperatures). At the end of the experiment Miller and Urey observed the spontaneous synthesis of amino acids, life-essential compounds, and concluded that organic molecules needed for life could be formed from inorganic components.

Starting materials used in this experiment served as a source of different elements needed for synthesis of amino acids. The source of the element oxygen in amino acids was water (H2O) that was put inside the chamber.

Sedbober [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Alkali metals (rarely 'Hydrogen and the alkali metals')

Alkaline earth metals (in old chemistry this name applied only to Ca and its congeners)

Icosagens (unofficial name; aka Boron group; rarely Earth metals)

Crystallogens (unofficial name; aka Carbon group; rarely Adamantogens[a] or Merylides[b])

Pnictogens

Chalcogens

Halogens

Noble gases (rarely Aerogens). The Group name may have to be changed to the “Helium group” since oganesson is not expected to be noble.

How do plasmodesmata affect the individuality of the cells?
Lisa [10]

Answer:

{\fcolorbox{blue}{black}{\blue{answer}}}

Plasmodesmata play roles in both cellular communication and in molecule translocation. Plant cells must work together as part of a multicellular organism (the plant); in other words, the individual cells must work to benefit the common good. Therefore, communication between cells is crucial for plant survival.
