Origin of Life
Is it true that the Precambrian atmosphere lacked oxygen, and thus would have allowed prebiological synthesis of organic molecules?- Are experiments such as those of Miller-Urey and Sidney Fox good examples of abiogenic synthesis of life?
- If organisms evolved in an environment lacking oxygen on the primitive earth, wouldn't they be different from those we have today?
- Could photosynthesis have evolved early and provided the oxygen needed for the respiratory enzymes
- What would be necessary to have a living cell, as a minimum?
- What is the current state of studies on the spontaneous origin of life?
