**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Background of the Experiment**: Stanley Miller and Harold Urey conducted their famous experiment in 1953 to simulate the conditions of the early Earth and to investigate the origin of life from inorganic substances. 2. **Atmospheric Conditions**: They recreated an atmosphere that was believed to resemble that of the primitive Earth. This included gases such as methane (CH₄), ammonia (NH₃), hydrogen (H₂), and water vapor (H₂O). 3. **Energy Supply**: To facilitate chemical reactions among these gases, energy was required. In their experiment, Miller and Urey supplied energy in two main forms: - **Electrical Energy**: They used electrodes to create electrical sparks, simulating lightning, which provided the necessary energy to drive the chemical reactions. ...
