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.

10 pounds of walnuts cost $50. How much does 1 pound of walnuts cost?
valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

$5 is the cost of 1 pound of walnuts

P (Pounds) = 5D (Dollars)

Explanation:

Since 10 pounds of walnuts = $50.

Let 1 pound of walnuts = Z

then, cross multiply

So, Z = ($50 X 1 pound) / 10 pounds

Z = 50/10

Z = $5

Thus, 1 pound of walnuts will cost 5 Dollars while P (Pounds) = 5D (Dollars) is the equation that shows the relationship between pounds and dollars

Which type of ovarian follicle contains a secondary oocyte?
Illusion [34]
I think it is the secondary ovarian follicle that contains the secondary oocyte.The stages of the ovarian cycle that the follicle will go through includes; a primary follicle contains an oocyte and begins producing estrogen. Then the secondary oocyte contains a secondary oocyte and produces estrogen and some progesterone, then the graafian follicle develops and the secondary oocyte is released a process we call ovulation. the corpus luteum produces progesterone and some estrogen and lastly the corpus luteum degenerates.
