The discovery of microorganism species requires modification of hypotheses about the origins of life on earth by revising the hypotheses about life on Earth originated in early oceans. Option B. Hypotheses about life on Earth originating in early oceans would need to be revised. is the answer.
How would the discovery of this species require modification of hypotheses about the origins of life on Earth?
- A microorganism, or microbe, is an organism of microscopic size, which may exist in its single-celled form or as a colony of cells.
- The scientists Oparin and Haldane thought that the early Earth had a reducing atmosphere, meaning an oxygen-poor atmosphere in which molecules tend to donate electrons.
- Under these conditions, they suggested that: Simple inorganic molecules could have reacted (with energy from lightning or the sun) to form building blocks like amino acids and nucleotides, which could have accumulated in the oceans, making a "primordial soup."
- The building blocks could have combined in further reactions, forming larger, more complex molecules (polymers) like proteins and nucleic acids, perhaps in pools at the water's edge.
- A new species of microorganism is discovered in a barren desert habitat. This species does not require water for existence.
So, the hypotheses about life on Earth originating in early oceans would need to be revised. And option B is the answer.
