Urey –Miller Experiment Description of the Urey-Miller Experiment In 1953 Urey and Miller were working at a university of Chicago, directed an experiment which would alternate the method of scientific investigation into the origin of life. Urey and Miller used very basic apparatus to conduct this experiment, they used: • 2 conical flasks • glass tubing • Power supply • methane (CH4) • ammonia (NH3) • hydrogen (H2) • water (H2O) Urey and Miller gathered a closed system which he pumped a mixture of gases that were methane, ammonia and hydrogen. One of the conical flasks was half full of boiling in order to add water vapour to the mixture and the gases were circulated around the apparatus. The gases mixed together created a high voltage electrical spark and then passed through a condenser to cool it down before going through a “trap” cooled in ice to collect any liquid products. Unaffected …show more content…
Urey and Millers experiment showed organic compounds such as amino acids, which are crucial to cellular life. The experimentation begins firstly with a hypothesis, which Urey and Miller used to thoroughly test the hypothetical conditions present on early earth and tested to see what the environmental required to allow life on Earth to begin. The At the end of one week of continuous operation, Miller and Urey observed, by looking at the cooled water, that as much as 10-15% of the carbon within the system was now in the form of organic compounds. 2% of the carbon had formed amino acids, including 13 of the 22 that are used to make proteins in living cells, with glycine as the most abundant. The molecules produced were simple organic molecules, far from a complete living biochemical system.
Procedure: Using distilled water, premeasured containers and objects determine displacement of fluids and density of objects. Use ice and heat measure temperatures in Celsius, Fahrenheit and Kelvin.
The purpose of this lab is to test substances and to determine the physical and chemical properties of substances.
Branch Rickey recalls a memory of a black athlete named Charlie who was refused the same accommodations as his teammates. What was the significance of this memory to branch Rickey? (page 289)
Levittown project was taken up in the U.S. after the end of Second World War, with the aim of providing mass housing facilities to people in the wake of increasing urbanization and problems of accommodating large population in limited urban area (Friedman. 1995). The first of Levittown apartments were constructed on Long Island, New York and they symbolized the modern trends of urbanization and housing developments (Clapson. 2003). This paper shall study the impact of Levittown project on trends of further urbanization and analyze the aesthetics of design and development involved in it.
Using Gravitational Force as a Measurement Tool Answer the following questions about the results of this activity. Record your answers in the boxes. Send your completed lab report to your instructor. Dont forget to save your lab report to your computer Activity 1 Record your data from Activity 1 in the boxes below. Enter the data for the sample you used in each trial (5000 rpm, 10000 rpm, etc) in the appropriate columns and the corresponding g-force, number of layers, and position of layers position results. You will need to use the following formula to assist with your laboratory report G-force 0 00001118 x radius of centrifuge arm x (rpm)2 The radius of the centrifuge arm for this instrument is 10 cm.

Students will carefully observe acts of aggression and prosocial behavior on television, report their observations, and analyze their data to draw conclusions.
The luminous yellow flame is smoky because no air is entering the burner and hydrocarbon is converted into carbon dioxide
C. An unknown, rectangular substance measures 3.6 cm high, 4.21 cm long, and 1.17 cm wide.
A researcher, Stanley Milgram, wondered how far individuals would go in following commands. In 1974 he set up a series of experiments. Describe the research methods used, together with the findings.
Place 100 ml of distilled water in a 250-ml (or 400-ml) beaker. Add 1.26g of oxalic acid dihydrate (H2C2O4.2H2O) and 1 ml of concentrated ammonia. Stir the mixture until the solid has dissolved completely.
The two experiments were similar in which they attained two distinct experimental groups, except for the Milgram experiment, and no control groups. The test subjects were classified in the Milgram experiment as students, teachers, and experimenters. While in the Zimbardo experiment
The so-called Philadelphia Experiment was an alleged experiment by US Navy occurs in 1943. Some claims that the experiment is to make the USS Eldridge invisible to the enemy. Unfortunately, what happened next is that the ship becomes invisible for ten seconds. It was speculated that the ship, including the crew, traveled to another timeline. Although this was refuted by the US Navy and claiming that this is just a hoax, many are still skeptical about it.
The Rosenhan experiment was an experiment into the validity of psychiatric diagnosis, conducted by David Rosenhan in 1973. The study is considered an important and influential criticism of psychiatric diagnosis.
Miller and Urey’s actions were in conflict with the goals of science. Their actions in particular conflict with the third goal of science which is “to use derived explanations to make useful predictions”(Gregg, Biology Notes). Miller and Urey formed an experiment to support the validity of an predetermined belief which is nearly the opposite. They made an experiment to prove the prediction in this case it’s origin of life. The point of an experiment is to have a conclusion supporting your evidence. However, it is not having evidence that supports your conclusion. They didn’t include specific key components necessary for the experiment to be an accurate simulation of early earth’s atmosphere in order to have the evidence to support their viewpoint
One of the most revered investigations of Abiogenesis (life arising from non-living matter) is the Miller-Urey experiment conducted in 1952. This experiment (as depicted) involved the simulation of primordial conditions on Earth and testing whether “natural stimulation” such as lighting and heat could have resulted in the synthesis of simple organic compounds. Several compounds thought to have been abundant in the atmosphere 3.8
