Why are scientists interested in the primordial synthesis of organic molecules when it comes to the genesis of life?

Many scientists claim that the synthesis of the first organic molecules from inorganic precursors was possible because of the highly reducing atmosphere found on primitive Earth. Which of the following is an appropriate null hypothesis that could be used when investigating the claim? *
The level of atmospheric oxygen on modern Earth is significantly higher than on primitive Earth.
Organic molecules were transported to primitive Earth by a meteorite or other celestial event.
The synthesis of organic molecules from inorganic molecules is possible under current atmospheric oxygen levels as well as those found on primitive Earth.
The absence of a significant quantity of atmospheric oxygen is required for the synthesis of organic molecules from inorganic precursors.

Which of the following is least reasonable regarding the Urey-Miller experiment?
Group of answer choices
The experiment was an important breakthrough in the study of the origin of life.
The experiment conifirmed that several of the key molecules of life could have been synthesised naturally on the primitive Earth.
The amino acids and other molecules produced in the experiment, and possibly present in the early atmosphere, could have participated in 'prebiotic' chemical processes, ultimately creating life.
This experiment, and others which followed, suggests that simple biologically significant molecules can evolve naturally under sets of conditions that may have existed not only on early Earth, but potentially elsewhere in the solar system and beyond.
The experiment was the first demonstration of abiogenesis (life from non-life).

EBDOSYMBIOTIC THEORY is the evolution theory that includes a larger and one smaller cell. The larger cell act as a host and the smaller cell is called the endosymbiont that is engulfed by the host cell. The larger cell referred to eukaryotic cell and the smaller cell represent prokaryotic cell. While BIOCHEMISTRY, is the study of the chemistry of cells and organisms. Thus, it is concerned with the types of molecules found in biological systems, their structure, and their chemical properties.
QUESTION:

One of the simplest definitions of a life-form is anything with the capacity to reproduce and regulate itself. Before life began, the complex organic, or hydrocarbon-bearing, molecules that makeup RNA and DNA, the building blocks of life, must have formed. No one knows exactly how life is formed from these molecules, but many ideas have been put forward. As you enter this area, go toward the large video screen on the right and explore the “Life at the hydrothermal Vents” label deck.
Some scientists theorize that life begins at deep-sea vents. Find three lines of evidence to support this claim.

In the 1950s, scientists Miller and Urey conducted a classic experiment in which water,
methane, ammonia, and hydrogen were sealed in a flask containing a pair of electrodes. An
electric spark was fired between the electrodes, and after a week's time, they found that amino
acids were present in the flask. Which of the following best explains the significance of this
experiment in explaining the origin of life on Earth?
A. It showed that any raw materials could produce the compounds necessary for life to exist
on early Earth.
B. It showed that life must have started somewhere else since organic compounds only
come from living thin
C. It showed how biological molecules can be formed from the very simple molecules that
were available on early Earth.
D. It showed how lightning can cause organic matter to decompose into amino acids, which
were the first molecules on early Earth.

Presumably in the first billion years of the Earth’s existence, there were many chemical reactions occurring and some of these reactions formed large quantities of organic molecules that accumulated in the early oceans, lakes, etc. This is often referred to as the “primordial ooze” or “prebiotic soup.” The conditions of the early Earth changed so new organic molecules weren’t being made, however many of the molecules in the primordial ooze reacted together forming more complex molecules and even, after millions of years, primitive cells formed. For energy, these primitive cells could metabolize some of the remaining organic molecules and “eat” other cells. At some point millions of years later, photosynthetic bacteria developed, but note that these bacteria did not give off O2. Then more millions of years later, the Cyanobacteria (the Blue-Green Bacteria) evolved and these organisms could photosynthesize and they gave off O2.

An astrobiologist discovers a new form of life on another planet. Life here appears to have evolved using DNA as the information storage molecule and proteins to carry out cellular function, much like on Earth, however the individual building blocks on this planet are different. On this planet, there appear to be 3 different nucleotides in the DNA and 30 different amino acids in the proteins.
Which of the following conclusions about this form of life would be most justified?
These organisms can produce proteins no more than 30 amino acids in length.
These organisms must produce 30 different forms of mRNA
Amino acids must be coded by sets of 3 nucleotides in the DNA of the organisms on this planet.
Amino acids must be coded by sets of at least 4 nucleotides in the DNA of the organisms on this planet.
These organisms cannot produce more than 30 kinds of protein.
