Why is matter important among living systems?
Give two (2) recent studiesthat have used model organisms in understanding biological or processes. Briefly discuss this studies.
Which of the following was the least likely objective of the Urey-Miller experiment? Group of answer choices   To demonstrate that oxygen can be produced by plants.   To recreate the conditions of the Earth before life existed and produce the molecules necessary for life from primordial inorganic matter (water, methane, ammonia, and carbon dioxide).   To build a case (though not necessarily prove) that life can originate from nonliving matter through natural means.   To demonstrate that organic molecules like amino acids (building blocks of protein) and nucleotide bases (building blocks of DNA) do not necessarily originate only from living matter.   To demonstrate that lightning may have been the essential energy source (early in Earth's evolution) in the production of molecules essential for life.
