Verified by Toppr

A- Coacervate can be defined as an aggregate of macromolecules such as proteins, lipids, nucleic acid often surrounded by the cell membranes and forms a stable colloid with properties that resemble living matter. According to Russian biochemist Aleksandr Oparin in the hot primitive seas, organic molecules would gather in small drops, similar to the actual cells. These small drops bunddled up in water molecules are called “coacervates”.
