in the conditions of the primitive Earth, certain structures with cell- like properties were formed. These are known as:
Coacervate is an aqueous phase rich in macromolecules such as synthetic polymers, proteins or nucleic acids. Coacervates aggregates in the form of organic compounds that have the capacity to divide, digest, create vacuoles etc., just like a cell.
The primordial soup is a generic term that describes the aqueous solution of organic compounds that accumulated in primitive water bodies of the early Earth.
Microbes and protists are the primitive living forms which developed and grew around 3 billion years ago.
