Expert Solution
Step 1

The origin of life on earth is backed by numerous theories such as theory of special creation, abiogenesis, biogenesis, panspermia theory to name a few.

The theory of abiotic synthesis of life postulates that life originated from the inorganic molecules present in the atmosphere. Organic molecules (such as amino acids) originated from interactions between inorganic molecules. Organic molecules later combined and gave rise to more complex molecules (such as proteins) and structures that contributed to the formation of living cells. Thus, life originated from coming together (or polymerization) of monomers (amino acids are building blocks or monomers for proteins).
