Document Summary
Fundamentals biological factors that affect health and survival of humans and other life. Systematic enterprise that builds and organizes knowledge in the form of testable explanations and predictions about the universe. Nested hierarchy evolution predicts that living things will be related to one another. Ex: babushka dolls (one fits inside the other) 100 km thick but only upper 1 km interacts with biosphere. Self-sustaining chemical system capable of darwinian evolution (has a genotype and phenotype) Life arose from inorganic molecules through natural processes. Life exists throughout the universe, distributed by meteoroids, asteroids, comets, planetoids and spacecraft oparin-haldane model. Theory developed by a. oparin and jbs haldane. All necessary ingredients for life occured on earth. What are the three stages of oh model. Synthesis of amino acids, nucleotides, carbohydrates from inorganic compounds. Attempted to recreate the primordial soup plus energy discharge from simulated lighting. Now believed that co2 and n2 instead of methane and ammonia were the dominant gases.
