Meaning of "abiogenesis" in English

Abiogenesis refers to the concept of life originating from non-living matter. It is a significant topic in the fields of biology and chemistry, dealing with the processes through which life forms spontaneously appeared on Earth from inorganic compounds. This theory contrasts with biogenesis, which is the process where life is derived from existing life. Abiogenesis seeks to explain how life on Earth might have begun billions of years ago, potentially influenced by conditions such as the presence of water, certain temperatures, and the composition of the atmosphere.

Meaning of "abiogénèse" in French

Abiogénèse, similar to abiogenesis, denotes the emergence of living organisms from non-living matter. It is a fundamental idea in the study of life's origin, analyzing how living entities might have naturally developed from simpler chemical compounds under the favorable conditions on early Earth. Unlike biogenesis, which involves life arising from pre-existing forms, abiogénèse focuses on the spontaneous generation of life, possibly influenced by environmental factors such as temperature and chemical makeup.
