First plastic cell with working organelle


First plastic cell with working organelle

This is the first time ever that chemists have been able to make a cell that consists of organelles that can process chemical reactions!!!!! 
This was created at the Institute for Molecules and Materials (IMM) at Radboud University Nijmegen.This was actually a very complex creation since it is very difficult. This discovery was essential because now the scientists can duplicate this cell and learn more on the origins of life from chemistry and biology. These types of creations are really popular in chemistry today, and everyone wants to find them out. They are making cells and polymers, also. Next, chemists might find a way to make cells produce its own energy!!!!!

Scientists say that us humans are all martians. A man argued that Mars was a more probable place for life rather than earth. Certain shared chemicals are on both Mars and Earth. There are strands of RNA combined into two double strands which are encoded in human's genes. Contreversies have been brought up because this chemistry experiment may not have been possible in the Early Earth or Mars. Mars has a high level oxygen
