Question

From the point of view of early chemical evolution that preceded the origin of life on earth, the most important simple organic molecules formed were

Answer 1

The early inorganic molecules interacted and produced simple organic molecules such as simple sugars (e.g., ribose, deoxyribose, glucose, etc.), nitrogenous bases (e.g., purines, pyrimidines), amino acids, glycerol, fatty acids, etc.

CH4+CO2+H2O→Sugars+Glycerol+Fatty acids

CH4+HCN+NH3+H2O→Purines+pyrimidines

CH4+NH3+CO2+H2O→Amino acids.
