NASA finds presence of sugar in meteorites that crashed to Earth

NASA scientists have found presence of sugar in meteorites that crashed into Earth’s surface billions of years ago. According to researchers, latest findings can help look for more evidence of life in asteroids and justify that y help life ingredients.

Scientists discover bio-essentials in meteorites 

According to statement released by NASA on vember 20, a team of scientists has been able to discover ‘bio-essential’ sugars in meteorites, which consists of or biologically important compounds. According to ory of NASA scientists, chemical reactions which occur within asteroids can help in forming elements that are essential for sustaining life. press release re, “ new discovery ds to growing list of biologically important compounds that have been found in meteorites, supporting hyposis that chemical reactions in asteroids – parent bodies of many meteorites – can make some of life’s ingredients.”

Ribose found in meteorite

NASA reported that team of scientists discovered ribose and or essential sugars like arabise and xylose in two different meteorites which contain huge amounts of carbon called NWA 801 ( CR2) and Murchison ( CM2). As we kw that Ribose is a form of sugar that is essential for formation of RNA (ribonucleic acid) which acts as a messenger molecule to copy genetic information from DNA.

In ar study published on vember 19 in Proceedings of National Acemy of Sciences, scientists tested three meteorites which included “one that landed in Australia in 1969”. This time scientists used hydrochloric acid and water for extraction of sugars. Jason Dworkin, a co-author of study at NASA’s Goddard Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland said, “It is remarkable that a molecule as fragile as ribose could be detected in such ancient material,”.
