A: Most scientists believe that
stable molecules like water and ammonia weren't originally produced on Earth.
Not exact matches
Chemically activated molecular switches are
molecules that can shift controllably between two
stable states and that can be reversibly switched —
like a light switch — to turn different functions «on» and «off.»
«Hyper - reactive
molecules like radialenes form more
stable substances very quickly.
They are
stable like small
molecules and potent and selective
like antibodies.
Once formed by either serpentinization or microbes, methane could be stored as a
stable clathrate hydrate — a chemical structure that traps methane
molecules like animals in a cage — for later release to the atmosphere, perhaps by gradual outgassing through cracks and fissures or by episodic bursts triggered by volcanism.
The first step in such an electrolytic approach is splitting CO2, a tough,
stable molecule, into oxygen and carbon monoxide (CO), a slightly more energy - rich
molecule that can form the basis for hydrocarbon fuels
like methanol.
Peptoids are highly
stable, protein -
like molecules developed by scientists to mimic natural proteins.
They used antibody -
like molecules, called immunoadhesins, in which the functional part of an antibody is fused with a more
stable section of another antibody.
Most of the
molecules are organic (carbon - containing), including ones similar to Earth -
like molecules but still others that are a strange assortment of species that could never be
stable on Earth.
Sadly, you have to deal with me — an ignoramus who stubbornly persists in thinking that thermodynamic equilibrium is an isothermal state in spite of the fact that you know that nearly every physics textbook on the subject states otherwise and has numerous examples of how physical forces can sort things
like gas
molecules into
stable sub-reservoirs at different temperatures.
Those same textbooks carefully demonstrate that there is no lapse rate in an ideal gas in a gravitational field in thermal equilibrium because, as is well known, thermal equilibrium is an isothermal state; nothing as simple as gravity can function
like a «Maxwell's Demon» to cause the spontaneous
stable equilibrium separation of gas
molecules into hotter and colder reservoirs.
