Answer:

The purpose of the Miller and Urey experiment was to see if organic compounds that could sustain life be created spontaneously in Earth's early atmosphere. They wanted to see if complex molecules of life (eg. Amino acids, etc.) could be created using natural chemical reactions when Earth had harsh conditions.

The purpose of Miller and Urey's experiment was to test Oparin's hypothesis about the conditions for the formation of organic molecules on early Earth.

American chemists Harold Urey and Stanley Miller performed a simulation experiment to prove the molecular evolution of life.

  • They combined warm water with water vapor, methane, ammonia, and molecular hydrogen.
  • These were pulsed with electrical discharges to simulated conditions which were that of the primitive earth.
  •  The end products - amino acids, aldehydes, and all major organic compounds that are known as precursors for life.
  • Amino acids as we know are essential precursors of protein.

Thus, the aim of Miller and Urey's experiment was to test  Oparin's hypothesis about the conditions for the formation of organic molecules on early Earth.
