Exploring the Origins of Life: A Scientific Inquiry

What is the primary question addressed in the video?

• What are the chemical properties of DNA?

• Can science explain the origin of life?

• How does biological evolution work?

• How do plants perform photosynthesis?

According to Darwin's theory, how do positive traits affect species?

• They decrease genetic diversity.

• They are irrelevant to survival.

• They cause species to remain unchanged.

• They increase the likelihood of survival and reproduction.

What does Darwin's theory suggest about the origin of life?

• All life may have originated from a simple creature.

• Life originated from multiple sources.

• Life does not evolve.

• Life has always been complex.

Why is a special explanation needed for the origin of life?

• Because bacteria are simple organisms.

• Because all life forms are complex.

• Because life cannot evolve without reproduction.

• Because life does not involve chemical reactions.

What field of study is suggested as a source for the emergence of life?

• Biology

• Geology

• Physics

• Chemistry

What are metabolic pathways?

• Processes that decrease cellular activity

• Random chemical reactions

• Organized sequences of chemical reactions in cells

• Genetic structures in cells

What role do metabolic pathways play in cells?

• They simplify cellular structures.

• They prevent chemical reactions.

• They organize chemical reactions into continuous paths.

• They have no specific role.

What did Friedrich Wöhler's experiment prove?

• That chemical reactions can occur outside living organisms.

• That life is powered by a mysterious force.

• That urea can only be synthesized by living organisms.

• That metabolic pathways do not exist.

How did the concept of the Vital Force change over time?

• It remains the leading theory in biochemistry.

• It was debunked by the synthesis of urea.

• It was replaced by the theory of chemical evolution.

• It was confirmed by modern science.

What concept does the discovery of amino acids in meteorites support?

• Vital Force theory

• Biological evolution

• Static state theory

• Chemical evolution
