QUESTION:

How is the heterotroph hypothesis related to evolution?

ANSWER:

Step 1 of 3

The heterotroph hypothesis by Alexander Oparin pointed out that earlier life forms were heterotrophs. This means that the organism already had ready-made food available for its survival. Earlier it was believed that life is molecular. However, Oparin’s vie changed his concept of the molecular level of life. He also pointed out that a vast diversity in structural and functional aspects is visible in organisms.
