A) prebiotic soup
B) coacervates
C) protists
D) microbes
Correct Answer: B
Solution :
Coacervates are aggregate of macromolecule such as protein, lipids and nucleic acid that form a stable colloid unit with properties that resemble living matter. Many are coated with a lipid membrane and contain enzymes that are capable of converting such substances as glucose into more complex molecules, such as starch. Coacervates arised spontaneously under appropriate condition that have been the pre-biological system, from which living organims originated. Prebiotic soup is the complexing mixture of organic compound in sea water. It was called hot-dilute soup by J B S Haldane. Protista is a kingdom containing unicellular eukaryotes that cannot be classified as animals, plants or fungi. It was proposed by Ernst Haeckel to include algae, bacteria and Protozoa. In most modem classification, it has been replaced by protoctista. Microbes (micro organism) are any organism that can be observed only with the aid of microscope. These include bacteria, viruses, protoctists and fungi.
