Which statement explains that chemical evolution and organic evolution are not mutually exclusive events, but rather they operate simultaneously in the evolution of life?

The formation of new structures influences the molecular changes in organisms.

The production of new proteins is directly proportional to increases in the complexities of the organisms.

The changes that occur at the molecular level result in changes of the species’ phenotypes.

The chemical reactions that occur in organisms cause their bodies to evolve and change the species.

Gases most likely found in the primitive atmosphere included methane, ammonia, and hydrogen and excluded oxygen and carbon dioxide. Which organisms are most likely considered to be the first to evolve?

multicellular plants that used the gases during photosynthesis for autotrophic nutrition

multicellular animals that used the gases during photosynthesis for autotrophic nutrition

aerobic prokaryotes that used the gases for heterotrophic nutrition

anaerobic prokaryotes that used the gases for heterotrophic nutrition

What is the difference between chemical and organic evolution?

Chemical evolution describes how complex organic molecules were first formed from simpler inorganic molecules on early Earth, while organic evolution describes the gradual process by which living organisms have undergone changes from simple unicellular creatures to complex multicellular organisms.

Chemical evolution describes the development of inorganic compounds and polyatomic ions on early Earth, while organic evolution describes the development of complex macromolecules (like starches and nucleic acids) from simpler monomers (such as monosaccharides and nucleotides).

Organic evolution describes how complex organic molecules were first formed from simpler inorganic molecules on early Earth, while chemical evolution describes the gradual process by which living organisms have undergone changes from simple unicellular creatures to complex multicellular organisms.
