else in the universe, they must have arisen from non-living material. There are hypotheses for how some of the main
stages could have occurred: 
1. Production of carbon compounds such as sugars and amino acids.
Stanley Miller and Harold Urey passed steam through a mixture of methane, hydrogen and ammonia. They found that amino acids and other
carbon compounds needed for life were produced.
2. Assembly of carbon compounds into polymers.
3. Formation of membranes.
4. Development of a mechanism for inheritance.]]> 2023-04-28 18:55:57 UTC https://padlet.com/danatamez2/mu3yn2tjukz2a83m/wish/2572159261 danatamez2 https://padlet.com/danatamez2/mu3yn2tjukz2a83m/wish/2572171235 The Greek philosopher and botanist Theophrastus (374-287 b.C.) reported that a plant called Silphium had sprung up from soil where it was not previously present and described this as an example of spontaneous generation ]]> 2023-04-28 19:09:22 UTC https://padlet.com/danatamez2/mu3yn2tjukz2a83m/wish/2572171235 danatamez2 https://padlet.com/danatamez2/mu3yn2tjukz2a83m/wish/2572175049 In the 16th century the German-Swiss botanist and astrologer Paracelsus quoted observations of spontaneous generation of mice, frogs and eels from water, air or decaying matter ]]> 2023-04-28 19:14:21 UTC https://padlet.com/danatamez2/mu3yn2tjukz2a83m/wish/2572175049 danatamez2 https://padlet.com/danatamez2/mu3yn2tjukz2a83m/wish/2572177590 Francesco Redi showed that maggots only developed in rotting meat if flies were allowed to come into contact with it. ]]> 2023-04-28 19:17:23 UTC https://padlet.com/danatamez2/mu3yn2tjukz2a83m/wish/2572177590 danatamez2 https://padlet.com/danatamez2/mu3yn2tjukz2a83m/wish/2572179084 Lazzaro Spallanzani boiled soup in eight containers, then sealed four of them and left the others open to the air.

The theory of endosymbiosis helps to explain the evolution of eukaryotic cells. It states that mitochondria were once free-living prokaryotic organisms that had developed the process of aerobic cell respiration. Larger prokaryotes took them in by endocytosis and instead of killing the smaller prokaryotes they allowed them to continue to live in their cytoplasm. As long as the smaller prokaryotes grew as the larger ones, they could persist indefinitely inside the larger cells. According to the theory of endosymbiosis they have persisted over hundreds of millions of years of evolution to become the mitochondria inside eukaryotic cells today.

He placed samples of broth in flasks with long necks and then melted the glass of the necks and bent it into a variety of shapes.

Pasteur then boiled the broth in some of the flasks to kill any organisms present but left others unboiled as controls. Fungi and other organisms soon appeared in the unboiled flasks but not in the boiled ones, even after long periods of time. The broth in the flasks was in contact with air, which it had been suggested was needed for spontaneous generation, yet no spontaneous generation occurred. Pasteur snapped the necks of some of the flasks to leave a shorter vertical neck. Organisms were soon apparent in these flasks and decomposed the broth. ]]> 2023-04-28 19:33:43 UTC https://padlet.com/danatamez2/mu3yn2tjukz2a83m/wish/2572188511
