Ms80-84 unit test + flower dissection lab Flashcards
what did the Miller-Urey experiment conclude?
that minerals from hydrothermal vents could build organic molecules
why did life most likely evolve in deep sea ecosystems?
protected from UV rays
atmosphere was too hot/ harsh
minerals could build organic molecules
who was the first organism?
Archaeans
oldest known full fossils?
cyanobacteria
many of Archaeans are what?
extremophiles
when did Earth form?
4.6 bya
when was the origin of life with Archaeans?
3.8 bya
when does photosynthesis evolve with cyanobacteria?
3.5 bya
when does atmospheric oxygen increase drastically? (1%-21%)
2.7 bya
when were the first eukaryotic cells?
2.2 bya
when was the first simple multicellular organisms?
2.1 bya
when do non-vascular plants colonize land?
475 mya
when was the first flowering plant?
130 mya
what attracts pollinators?
petals
what protects the flower when it is a bud?
sepals
what is the female reproductive system of a flower?
pistil
what is a long stock as well as the sticky end attached to it?
style
stigma
where does pollen travel?
to the ovary
what does the ovary contain?
ovules
what is the male reproductive system of a flower?
stamen
what is the stamen made up of and what does it support? What does that do?
filament
anther; produces pollen
how did life begin?
with Abiogenesis
what is Abiogenesis?
organic molecules formed in oceans–> “primordial soup” from which first cells formed
what are the organic molecules made in the Miller-Urey experiment?
amino acids—> proteins
what is the evidence for Anaerobic Heterotroph Hypothesis?
many Archaeans are anaerobic heterotrophs
primordial soup
what is the evidence for Chemosynthesis Hypothesis?
many Archaeans are chemosynthetic autotrophs
hydrothermal vents
