List and describe the various hypotheses concerning the chemical evolution that produced macromolecules.

Answer 1

In the second stage of chemical evolution, the simple organic molecules (such as amino acids) that formed and accumulated joined together into larger structures (such as proteins). The units linked to each other by the process of dehydration synthesis to form polymers. The problem is that the abiotic synthesis of polymers had to occur without the assistance of enzymes. In addition, these reactions give off water and would, therefore, not occur spontaneously in a watery environment.

The necessary energy sources could have been lightening and deep lava vents.
