An experiment was done where a primordial soup of water, methane, carbon dioxide and ammonia was electrified. Following this, the material was found to contain many of the amino acids found in all living things on Earth.
 
  The purpose of this experiment was to: A) determine whether DNA could have formed from electrolysis.
  B) determine whether DNA could have formed from amino acids.
  C) determine whether DNA could have formed from water and methane.
  D) determine whether amino acids could have formed naturally on Earth.
  E) determine whether amino acids could have formed from water, methane, carbon dioxide and ammonia.

Answer to Question 1

D

There can actually be a 25-hour time difference between certain locations in the world. The International Date Line passes between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa. It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.

The use of salicylates dates back 2,500 years to Hippocrates's recommendation of willow bark (from which a salicylate is derived) as an aid to the pains of childbirth.

When Gabriel Fahrenheit invented the first mercury thermometer, he called "zero degrees" the lowest temperature he was able to attain with a mixture of ice and salt. For the upper point of his scale, he used 96°, which he measured as normal human body temperature (we know it to be 98.6° today because of more accurate thermometers).
