Spontaneous synthesis of organic molecules
|
- first demonstrated by stanley miller- 1950s
- provided the basic materials from which the first living organisms arose
|
|
Phospholipids
|
Basic components of all present-day biological membranes, including the plasma membranes of both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells

Amphipathic molecule
|
Consist of one portion that is soluble in water and another portion that is not

|
Hydrophobic
|
(water-insoluble) - hydrocarbon chains form the inside layer of phospholipids molecules
|
|
Hydrophilic
|
(water-loving) - head groups containing phosphate form the outside layer of phospholipids molecules
