Document Summary
Definition of what life is is key outcome. Life started ~ 4 bya life developed fairly early on (said this was the take home message) Heritable info. (transfer info. from parent to daughter cell) Formation of cells (enviro. in cell is diff. than enviro. outside of cell {said this was important}) want mol. to be in high [ ] inside cell. Don"t know how 1st cell started and such (bio. stage is least known) Abiotic synthesis can one make org. mol. from inorganic mol. You can reduce mol. bc of e- donation and transfer. Miller urey experiment made monomers, not polymers or dna seq. Geo. diff. mol. (boiling point, mol. mass are identical) except for order they are linked to central carbon ( handedness ) Thalidomide randomly converts into an antiemetic to a teratogen and vice versa (from an anti-nausiant to something that causes birth defects)
