In the early 1950s, (US researchers decided to test the theory A. Oparin and JBS Haldane). So in 1953, Stanley L. Miller (1930-2007) chemistry student, outlined an experiment with the help of his teacher Harold C. Urey (1893-1981) at the University of Chicago. Harold Urey Miller gave six months to achieve some interesting results, if I did not they would not spend money on that idea. So Miller hang tag outlined and built an apparatus that simulated the conditions of the early Earth. hang tag In an evacuated hang tag glass tube (which was made vacuum) he put hydrogen, ammonia, methane and water vapor, carbon dioxide and boiling water at the bottom (to represent an ocean). In this bottle he produced electrical discharges simulating lightning that occurred at that time in the early atmosphere. After a week appeared vestiges of a coloring substance orange to light brown, which Miller analyzed and found it rich in amino acids - the building blocks of proteins. This experiment demonstrated that organic molecules (amino acids) could have formed under the conditions of the early Earth, which reinforces the hypothesis of the gradual evolution of chemical systems. It ranged the gas mixture and can obtain various compounds of the main metabolism of living beings such as amino acids, proteins and fatty acids. Thanks to the pioneering experience of Stanley Miller, now scientists are able to reproduce in the laboratory hang tag almost hang tag all the most important amino acids.
Experiment outlined by Stanley Miller to investigate the origin of life on Earth.
Stanley Miller and his primitive atmosphere of the Earth Simulator machine IMAGINE THAT EXISTED AT THE BEGINNING OF EARTH HISTORY hang tag MANY VOLCANOES AND THE ATMOSPHERE hang tag WAS WELL THAT THERE IS DIFFERENT TODAY IN OUR DAYS AND WE BREATHE. THAT TIME WAS NOT POSSIBLE TO BREATHE IN THE ATMOSPHERE BECAUSE THERE WAS NO OXYGEN FREE.
NOW IMAGINE THAT BEYOND THESE GASES IN EARLY ATMOSFORA WOULD BE MANY STORMS; PROBABLY STORMS lasting MONTHS OR EVEN YEARS WITHOUT STOP (AS THOSE WE SEE ON VENUS, JUPITER, OR EVEN IN Uranus). SO, WOULD AMOUNT RAYS OF HUGE (Hojem HAVE AROUND 100 MILLION RAYS ONLY IN ONE YEAR IN BRAZIL hang tag IN THE WORLD ARE AROUND 3.2 BILLION YEAR-RAY). hang tag IMAGINE THEN ALL THAT FULL WATER ORGANIC COMPOUNDS FORMED IN THE ATMOSPHERE. ALL THIS would fall GROUND AND DO PUDDLES OF PARTY WHO would dry PERIODICALLY CONCENTRATING THESE COMPOUNDS AND SUBMITTING THEM TO CHANGES CHEMICAL.
Coacervates are clusters of lipid and protein hang tag molecules surrounded hang tag by water molecules. This gives the ionization due to this potential in some of its parts (both lipid molecule as the protein molecule). It is believed, based on Oparin's theory that the source is connected coacervates of the chemical composition hang tag of the atmosphere that was supposedly primitive comprising: methane, ammonia, hydrogen sulfide, carbon dioxide and water vapor in addition to hydrogen and nitrogen. These gases under the influence of the energy hang tag of lightning storms and the sun's ultraviolet rays (UVA and UVB) would be combined, forming amino acids which are grouped forming hang tag the coacervates.
According to Oparin's theory there coacervates formed in various ways. The most unstable broke easily and crumbled. Others joined other organic molecules present in seawater and inorganic molecules, forming the complex hang tag coacervates.
It is possible that some of these thousands of combinations that may have occurred over time, some coacervates have become more and more stable. Simultaneously with this, it would be formed in the ocean a "hot pot" comprising coacervates and other organic compounds, and inorganic substances from the weathering of rocks, and this allowed the survival of coarcevados.
As coacervates needed energy to survive, this was obtained initially from the sun's ultraviolet rays and electrical discharges (thunderstorms) hang tag and later came to be obtained from biochemical hang tag form (sugars, organic matter in general). hang tag Thus the first protobiont or protocell was a being heterotrophic, needing to obtain energy of organic compounds already synthesized, either in the atmosphere and falling with the rain in the ocean or by merging with other coacervates.
Your blog is awesome !!! helped me a lot, he explains very clearly, congratulations, post more things about biology or others
