Simulated what they thought might be early earth conditions with the proper precursor elements and ran a controlled experiment by simulating lighting over a water environment. Certain organic molecules were produced and different experiments since then, using other atmospheric conditions, have showing the ease of producing these organic molecules. Amino acids and nitrogenous bases mostly. Many other experiments have shown nucleic acid replication and metabolic activity. ( RNA )

How did Oparin's hypothesis help Miller and Urey?

Oparin's hypothesis proposed that Earth's early atmosphere could have supported the formation of organic molecules, providing the foundational idea for Miller and Urey's experiment. Miller and Urey's experiment aimed to simulate early Earth conditions and demonstrated that organic molecules, including amino acids, could indeed be produced in a laboratory setting, supporting Oparin's hypothesis.

What was the purpose of Miller in Urey experiment?

The purpose of the Miller-Urey experiment was to simulate the conditions of early Earth to investigate the origins of life. They wanted to test whether organic molecules, such as amino acids, could be formed from inorganic compounds under these conditions.


Organic compounds will not form in the Miller-Urey apparatus if O2 is present Why is this not?

Organic compounds will not form in the Miller-Urey apparatus if O2 is present because oxygen would react with the organic molecules produced, inhibiting the formation of more complex organic compounds. The early Earth's atmosphere was believed to be devoid of oxygen, which allowed for the formation of organic compounds in the Miller-Urey experiment.
