Answer:

Primordial soup

Explanation:

The primordial soup is a theoretical mixture of organic compounds (water vapor, carbon dioxide, nitrogen, methane and ammonia) that may have given rise to life on Earth. When one wants to explain how living organisms appeared on Earth, the theory of primordial soup is often used, which seems to be the most plausible scientific explanation.

Conditions on Earth in its early days were very different from current conditions. The atmosphere had no oxygen, being rich in hydrogen, ammonia, methane and water. According to the primordial soup theory, these substances were prepared to produce amino acids, which would have been able to combine to create organic material that, eventually, could have given rise to life. In order for this to happen, it was necessary to have a catalyst; the amino acids did not appear spontaneously.

The only molecules that can be considered "organic" are methane and carbon dioxide, but these are abiotic and not considered fundamental in the biochemical molecular structure of the first organism.

The likely designation of the list of molecules is "primordial soup," but the proposition that these somehow collected, merged and formed anything associated with the first organism is naturalist mythology, as there are no naturalist processes capable of selectively formulating the required biochemical assemblies needed to construct a functioning organism.

Abiogenesis, the naturalist myth of origin of life is based on chemical evolution, as the Darwinian myth of "warm little ponds," Oparin-Haldane primordial soup, and Miller-Urey test tube goo. No naturalist processes can assemble all the required biochemically required compounds required for the the origin of life.

4. Explain error and how it can impact your results from an experiment
Jet001 [13]

Random errors will shift each measurement from its true value by a random amount and in a random direction. These will affect reliability (since they're random) but may not affect the overall accuracy of a result.

Which state of matter has the MOST energy?
Ierofanga [76]

The state of matter that has the most energy is gas. In a solid, there is limited room for molecules to move around.

The gas state of matter has the most energy because of how freely the molecules move. Matter is a physical substance of which there are three, and they are solid, liquid, and gas. Solid matter is very compact with the particles very close together and not much movement; therefore, no action, no energy.

Calculate the amount of ATP in kg that is turned over by a resting human every 24 hours. Assume that a typical human contains ~5
valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

The correct answer is 66.35 kilograms.

Explanation:

Based on the data given in the question, the energy consumed by the body of a human being is 50%. Based on the given data, the energy consumed in a day is 8000 kJ, 50 percent is the energy transfer efficiency. Thus, the consumption of total energy is 4000 kJ, and for the transformation of ADP to ATP, the energy involved is 30.6 kJ per mole.  

Hence, the total ATP produced in the process is,  

ATP = 4000 kJ / 30.6 kJ/mol

= 130.7189 mol.  

Thus, with the energy transfer efficiency of 50 percent, the total moles of ATP produced is 130.7 mol.  

The mass of ATP can be calculated by using the formula,  

moles = mass/molecular mass

The molecular mass of ATP is 507.18 g per mol

Now by putting the values we get,  

mass of ATP = 130.7189 mol * 507.18 g/mol

= 66298.011 g or 66.298 kg

It is mentioned that human comprise 50 g of ATP or 0.05 kg of ATP. Therefore, the sum of the available ATP will be.  

= Total production of ATP + Total ATP available

= 66.298 kg + 0.05 kg

= 66.348 kg

Hence, the sum of the ATP that is turned over by a resting human in a day is 66.35 kg.
