Miller-Urey experiment provided evidence for the origin of life from inanimate matter. In the experiment, they created an atmosphere containing molecules like ammonia, methane and hydrogen sulphide, but no oxygen. This atmosphere was similar to the atmosphere present during the primitive Earth. Temperature was maintained constant at 100C and sparks were passed through the mixture to stimulate lightning. After a particular time, certain amount of the carbon from methane had been converted to simple compounds of carbon like amino acids. Amino acids are the precursors of the proteins and proteins are the molecules that support the life in basic form.

AL토년 BUILDING CONCEPTS 7 Discuss the implications of the following statement "It is interesting to note that poultry is India's most efficient converter of low fibre food stuff (which is unfit for human consumption) into highly nutritious animal protein food." Explanation India is basically an agricultural society where a lot of wastes are produced during food processing, e.g., fish meal, meat meal, rice bran, etc. They are profitably used in forming poultry feed. In return poultry provides us with egg and meat rich in animal protein. (3) Fisheries Fisheries are establishments connected with capture, prevention, exploitation and utilization of various types of fish, prawn, lobsters, oysters etc. Depending upon the mode of obtaining fish, fisheries are of two types (i) Capture fishery The fish is caught from natural water, both marine and inland. Modern technology is used in capturing of fish. (ii) Culture fishery/fish farming It is the culture of aquatic organisms with controlled environment and scientific knowledge for commercial production. Marine fisheries They are fish catching areas in sea. India has an extensive coastline and an exclusive sea zone beyond it. Popular marine fishes are Pomphret, Mackerel, Tuna, Sardines and Bombay duck. These fishes are captured from coastal areas. Marine fishes are caught using fishing nets from boats and large trawlers. Yields are further increased by locating large schools of fish using satellites and eco-sounders. Mechanized fishing boats are also introduced for fishing. Mariculture To fulfill the demands of growing population and to sustain the number of fish in marine waters, mariculture is practiced. Some marine organisms of high economic value are also farmed in sea water. This includes mullets, bhetki, pearl spots, prawns, mussels, oysters and even sea-weed. Oysters not only provide food but pearls too. Mariculture is growing rapidly as the demand for fish is increasing while the stock is declining due to excessive exploitation from sea.
