Describe the primordial soup theory.

The theory states that life began in a warm pool or ocean from a combination of chemicals that forms amino acids, which then makes proteins. These reactions forming molecules of life This is supposed to have happened 3.8 to 3.5 billion years ago. J.B.S. Haldane first brought about this idea and Miller and Urey made the molecules in an artificial environment with the help of methane, ammonia, hydrogen, water and no oxygen. Hope I helped!

The primordial soup theory suggest that life began in a pond or ocean as a result of the combination of chemicals from the atmosphere and some form of energy to make amino acids, the building block of proteins. which would then evolve into all species.

The primordial soup theory postulates that life began in Earth's early oceans, where organic molecules formed from inorganic compounds due to energy from sources like lightning. Proposed by Alexander Oparin in the 1920s, this theory was supported by the Miller-Urey experiment in 1953, which demonstrated the synthesis of amino acids in conditions that mimicked early Earth. This theory suggests a plausible pathway for the origin of life on our planet.
