what is the order here?

[Dencology]

Guys, i have been searching a lot but i did not get a definit answer.

what is the correct chronological arrangement of the following chemicals?

protobionts, methane, ammonia, water, hydrogen gas, short polypeptide chains, simple sugars, nucleotides, inorganic molecules

my take would be

protobionts, ammonia, methane, water, inorganic molecules, short polypeptide chains, simple sugars, nucleotides

correct me if i am wrong.

Protobionts are precurser to prokaryotic cells, so they are a mass of organic material enclosed by a membrane like material, so they would be at the extreme end of the list.

It should be something like:

Methane, Ammonia, water, inorganic molecules, simple sugars, short nucleotides polypeptide chains, protobionts.

Remember that in order to form polypeptides, you need monomoers of nucleotides to do so, so they would have to come first. As far as the inorganics, they maybe in any order as far as I know
