How did the Urey Miller Experiment contribute to science?

Question

i know what the experiment did/was so no need to explain the experiment to me again

but could you please summerise how it contributed to sciences hypothesis on the origin of life...

=)

Answer 1

It didn't. It was later deemed flawed as they realized that the chemical balance they used wasn't the same as the ones in early earth.

Answer 2

In short, it contributed to the theory of "Abiogenesis first and biogenesis ever since"

the experiment :

~*~ simulated/reproduced hypothetical conditions present on the early Earth and tested for the occurrence of chemical evolution.

~*~ tested Oparin and Haldane's hypothesis that conditions on the primitive Earth favored chemical reactions that synthesized organic compounds from inorganic precursors.

~*~ the chamber formed amino acids, with glycine as the most abundant.

~*~ Sugars, lipids, and some of the building blocks for nucleic acids were also formed.
