Question

example of an early theory on the origin of life is the theory that life arose from nonliving matter. dropdown options: abiogenesis, cell theory, endosymbiotic theory, lipid; image of glass bottles (one with flame) showing an experiment setup

Explanation:

The question is about identifying the early theory on the origin of life that states life arose from non - living matter. Abiogenesis is defined as the theory that life can arise from non - living matter. Cell theory is about the basic unit of life being cells. Endosymbiotic theory explains the origin of eukaryotic cells. Lipid is a type of biomolecule, not a theory of the origin of life. So the correct option is abiogenesis.

Answer:

abiogenesis
