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.

alexira [117]
The correct answer is "urine output, 20 ml/hour".
The minimum urine output for a healthy individual is 30 ml/hour, therefore this measurement of urine output is lower than what is considered acceptable. Urine output is an important assessment which can help the monitoring of renal function. Since the patient is recovering from a renal surgery, a significant low urine output should be reported to the healthcare provider.
In a patient recovering from a surgery, a slight increase in temperature is expected. So is the absence of bowel sounds and a small amount of serous sanguineous drainage.

How is Earth's environment unique in the solar system?
Ber [7]

Answer:

In the entire solar system, the environment of planet earth is unique due to the presence of the atmosphere.

It is responsible for providing carbon dioxide and oxygen which are essential for the presence of life on earth.

Secondly, it helps in keeping the earth warm through the greenhouse effect.

It prevents the entry of harmful radiations of the sun into the atmosphere.

Why might it be beneficial for the brain to be connected to the contralateral side of the body?
kondor19780726 [428]
I think it is beneficial for the brain to be connected to the contralateral side of the body because of the position and connection to the brain that our eyes have. Because light from the right visual fields strikes the left side of the eye and light from the left side strikes the right side of the eye, the connections allow visual information from both sides of the body to reach the brain.

A major function of the human urinary bladder is
ioda
The answer is A, storing urine until it is eliminated.


The bladder stores urine, allowing urination to be infrequent and controlled. The bladder is lined by layers of muscle tissue that stretch to hold urine. The normal capacity of the bladder is 400-600 mL. During urination, the bladder muscles squeeze, and two sphincters (valves) open to allow urine to flow out.
