LESSON 1: THE EVOLVING CONCEPT OF LIFE BASED ON EMERGING PIECES OF EVIDENCE Flashcards

Q

studies life in all its forms, past and present. This can include plants, animals, viruses and bacteria, single-celled organisms, and even cells. Life sciences study the biology of how these organisms live, which is why you may hear this group of specialties referred to as biology.

Q

The first form of life is believed to have appeard 3.5 billion years ago. the first evidence of life is found in microfossils.
Microfossils are fossils that contains the remains of tiny plants and animals. (they are very small)
Some of remain organisms do not have nuclues so they were called
/ PROKARYOTES

• UNICELLULAR ORGANISM - MULTICELLULAR ORGANISM

are fossils that contains the remains of tiny plants and animals. (they are very small)

A

Microfossils

17
Q

they started to make their own food by utilizing the energy from the sun and the carbon dioxed in the atmosphere.

The process of photosynthesis produced more oxygen that changed the Earth’s early atmosphere.

A

These are PHOTOSYNTHETIC ORGANISMS.

18
Q

the first photosynthetic organism to form.

A

CYANOBACTERIA

19
Q

the first photosynthetic organism to form.

A

CYANOBACTERIA

20
Q

Oxygen was scarce on the early earth
• Ancestral cell must also have been

A

Anaerobic

21
Q

Oxygen was scarce on the early earth
• Ancestral cell must also have been

A

Anaerobic

22
Q

the oldest cell microfossils are fillaments from 3.5 billion years - old rocks in Western Australia. the filaments resemble chains of modern photosynthetic bacteria and the rocks in which they occur are the remains of ancient

A

Stromatolites

23
Q

THE FIRST EUKARYOTES
WERE

A

Protists

24
Q

The evolution of life is brought about the changes in the environment which are linked to changes in climate and geology. These Earth’s environmental changes made the Earth’s environment more suitable for a wider variety of life forms.

A

Newly Discovered tree species endemic to Dinagat Island
