Which hypothesis suggests that the basic organic compounds necessary for life were formed on Earth through natural chemical processes?
A
Gaia Hypothesis
B
Endosymbiotic Theory
C
Miller-Urey Experiment
D
Panspermia Theory
Verified step by step guidance1
Begin by understanding the context of the problem: it is asking about a hypothesis related to the origin of basic organic compounds necessary for life on Earth.
Identify the key hypotheses mentioned: Gaia Hypothesis, Endosymbiotic Theory, Miller-Urey Experiment, and Panspermia Theory.
Clarify each hypothesis: The Gaia Hypothesis suggests Earth functions as a self-regulating system; Endosymbiotic Theory explains the origin of eukaryotic cells; Panspermia Theory proposes life exists throughout the universe and is distributed by meteoroids, asteroids, etc.
Focus on the Miller-Urey Experiment: This experiment simulated early Earth conditions and demonstrated that organic compounds could be formed from inorganic precursors through natural chemical processes.
Conclude that the Miller-Urey Experiment is the hypothesis that directly addresses the formation of basic organic compounds on Earth through natural chemical processes.
