Miller-Urey experiment was a chemical experiment that simulated the conditions of the prebiotic Earth, by testing the chemical origen of life under the conditions of the enviroment in that time. The experiment used water, ammonia, hydrogen, and methane seled inside a sterile 5-liter glass flask to a 0,5-liter flask half-full of water being it continuous exposed to electrical sparks. Miller could show that the prebiotic condition for life in his test produced 11 of the 20 known amino acids, showing that from inorganic simple molecules was the start of origen of life in Earth.
