What is the name given by Fox to the collection of organic macromolecules surrounded by a double-layered boundary?
Microsphere
Coacervate
Protovirus
Enzyme
The name given by Fox to the collection of organic macromolecules surrounded by a double-layered boundary is "Microsphere". According to Fox's experiment, inorganic molecules were converted into organic molecules in the presence of electricity and heat, and these organic molecules aggregated to form microspheres, which were the precursors to cells. The double-layered boundary of the microspheres was formed by the hydrophobic nature of the lipids, which formed a stable barrier between the interior and exterior of the microsphere. The microspheres provided a protected environment for various reactions to take place, making them an important step in the origin of life.
Option 1 is the correct answer.
