Abstract:
IT APPEARS THAT IN THE period when life originated on the Earth, the atmosphere was made of nitrogen, carbon dioxide and water [1]. In this atmosphere the permanent source of energy was sunlight. So, for raising these compounds to thermodynamically higher level of reduced nitrogen and carbon, a process of photolysis of water is essential to provide necessary energy and hydrogen. So, the earliest living organism would have to come into being, from a simple environment rather than from a complex one, as is needed for heterotrophic origin of life.
