Question
How were complex organic molecules formed during chemical evolution?
✓
Answer
- The primitive broth in which simple organic molecules were suspended, was neutral and free from oxygen.
- In this broth polymerisation took place and simple organic molecules aggregated to form new complex organic molecules like polysaccharides, fats, proteins, nucleosides and nucleotides.
- Protoproteins were formed by polymerisation of amino acids. These protoproteins later formed proteins.
- Formation of protein molecules is considered as landmark in the origin of life. Later the enzymes were formed which accelerated the rate of other chemical reactions.
