人工能不能合成有机物从前,人們把在动物或植物有机体内生成的物質叫做“有机物”。那时候認为有机物只是生命的产物,只有依靠一种超自然的力量——“生活力”的作用才能形成,而不能够用人工方法来制造。但是,1824年德国科学家武勒第一次用人工方法把氰和水一同加热制得了有机物質——草酸。而以前草酸只有从水草、菌、苔、鳳尾草等植物里,才能够得到。1828年武勒又用氰酸銨制得了一种动物生命活动所产生的有机物——尿素。这些事实,清楚地說明有机物是可以人工制造的。然而一些主張自然界里存在着神秘的“生活力”的人,并沒有放弃自己的荒谬的說法。他們說尿素不能算作真正的有机物,它只
Can artificially synthesize organics? In the past, people created substances in animals or plant organisms as “organic matter.” At that time, organic matter was only a product of life and could only be formed by the power of a supernatural force, the “living power”, and could not be manufactured by artificial means. However, in 1824, the German scientist Bauer used artificial methods to heat the cyanogen and water to obtain the organic substance oxalic acid. In the past, oxalic acid was only available from plants such as aquatic plants, bacteria, moss, and pteris. In 1828, Wuler also used ammonium cyanide to produce urea, an organic substance produced by animal life activities. These facts clearly demonstrate that organic matter can be manufactured artificially. However, some people who advocate that there is a mysterious “living power” in nature do not give up their absurd claims. They say urea can’t count as real organic matter, it only
