Who created coacervates artifically in the laboratory for the first time? Enumerate their characteristics. What do they confirm about the origin of life?
"'Coacervation"' is a unique type of electrostatically driven liquid-liquid phase separation, resulting from the association of oppositely charged macro-ions. The process of coacervation was famously proposed by Alexander Oparin and J. B. S. Haldane as crucial in his early theory of abiogenesis. There are certain properties that all organisms exhibit, whether the organism is a unicellular or multicellular. These properties include the ability to obtain nutrition from the surrounding environment, the ability to transport materials within the organism, the ability to synthesize, the ability to grow, the ability to respond to the external environment and regulate the internal environment, the ability to reproduce, and the ability to excrete.
Coacervates are considered to be the building blocks of early life. Scientists believe that they evolved by using chemical processes to produce organic compounds from the oceans for food.
