Early Earth
• Sources of organic compounds
• Extra-terrestrial sources: meteorites
• Contain amino acids, small amount
• Concentrated in tide pools

Miller & Urey experiment• Closed system• Simulate conditions of early
earth as suggested by Oparin& Haldane
• Sparks for lightning• Identified:• Amino acids, organic acids,
hydrocarbons• Further work has synthesized
all major groups of molecules.• May not have contained
necessary gases• Deep sea vent and volcanos

RNA
• RNA: Two properties• Genetic material, self
replicating• Enzymes: catalytic
function• Ribozymes

Monomer to Polymers• Abiotic synthesis on hot
clay surface• Spontaneous
polymrerization• Protobionts
(microspheres) • Agitation of proteins and
lipids• Steps appear to be
biologically possible and plausible

Invasion of the land
• Adaptations for life on land:
• Gravity• Breathing• Water• Movement• Reproduction

Thinking about the chapter • 1. What is the evidence that life might have originated from nonliving
matter on early Earth? What kind of evidence would you like to see before you would accept this hypothesis?
• .• 2. If the first cells with aerobic metabolism were so much more
efficient at producing energy, why didn’t they drive cells with only anaerobic metabolism to extinction?
• .• 3. Explain the endosymbiont hypothesis for the origin of chloroplasts
and mitochondria.• 4. Name two advantages of multicellularity for plants and two
advantages for animals.• .• 5. What advantages and disadvantages would terrestrial existence
have had for the first plants to invade the land? For the first land animals?
