What is abiogenesis?

<p>The concept of abiogenesis, or the natural process by which life originates from non-living matter, has been a subject of extensive exploration in biology. Rooted in the Greek words ἀ- (a-) meaning &lsquo;not,&rsquo; &beta;ῐ́&omicron;&sigmaf; (bios) meaning &lsquo;life,&rsquo; and &gamma;έ&nu;&epsilon;&sigma;&iota;&sigmaf; (genesis) meaning &lsquo;origin,&rsquo; it encompasses the hypothesis that life on Earth did not emerge in a single event but rather through a complex process.</p> <p><img alt="" src="https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:700/1*TEgeS3P6YKQ8h6fmjDjzQw.png" style="height:401px; width:700px" /></p> <p>This process involves the transformation from non-living to living entities, incorporating elements such as the formation of a habitable planet, prebiotic synthesis of organic molecules, molecular self-replication, self-assembly, autocatalysis, and the emergence of cell membranes. Notably, the shift from non-life to life has not been observed experimentally, adding an element of mystery to the study.</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/@annapichiri759/what-is-abiogenesis-5987f4d81207"><strong>Click Here</strong></a></p>
