Scientists lack enough evidence to conclude how the first organic molecules formed or arrived on

Earth. However, the results of the Miller-Urey experiment and related experiments support which of

these mechanisms for organic molecule synthesis?

As the first cells formed, they released urea and other organic wastes into the surrounding water

During a volcanic eruption, gases from Earth's interior reacted with one another to form amino

acids,

During a lightning strike, chemicals in the atmosphere reacted to form amino acids.

As Earth cooled, amino acids and other compounds fell to the surface in raindrops.

Answer: Option C

The outcome of the Miller-Urey experiment and similar experiments supports that during a lightning strike, chemicals in the atmosphere reacted to form amino acids.

Explanation:

Scientists think that lightning sparked chemical reactions in Earth's early atmosphere.

The early atmosphere of earth consists of gases such as ammonia, methane, water vapour, and carbon dioxide.

The scientists used a mixture of gases to show the earth's early atmosphere. Then the scientists developed sparks through the gases to show lightning.
