Question

In their experiment to form a primitive living cell, Urey and Miller set up various flasks with water vapor and the gases CO2, CH4, and H2. One flask also had electrodes to generate spark; another flask had electrodes to generate spark; another flask had everything but electrodes. Which of the flasks showed presence of coacervates, and why?

A: only the flask with the electrodes because the electrodes were a source of electricity that simulated lighting.
B: only the flask without electrodes because the electricity generated from electrodes would have destroyed the coacervates.

Answer 1

The answer is a

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

The correct answer should be A.only the flask with the electrodes because the electrodes were a source of electricity that simulated lighting.

According to their experiment, only the flask with the electrodes could show presence of coacervates because it needed an energy source in order to fully simulate earth's early atmosphere.
