D) nucleic acids

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Lipids are known to spontaneously form vesicles or lipid bilayer structures, which is the basis for modern cell membranes. Therefore, early pre-cells or vesicles may have consisted of small droplets of lipids. Choice A (water) is not specific enough to form a vesicle structure, choice B (clay) is not known to spontaneously form vesicles, and choice D (nucleic acids) may have been present in early pre-cells but would not have been the basis for vesicle formation.
