EQ’s 1-4 • What happened at the Cambrian Explosion? • What happened at the K-T Boundary? • What were the first type of organisms on Earth? • What does the endosymbiont theory?
Page 1 Land Conditions: Earth was molten lava to start. Gravity started pulling elements together. Crust started to form
Page 1 Atmosphere conditions: Probably were gases expelled from volcanoes (water, CO2, sulfur dioxide)
Page 1 MODERN EVIDENCE OF EARLY LIFE Fossils- Any preserved evidence of an organism by mineral replacement, molds/casts, ice mummies or amber.
Page 1 How does a fossil form? Organism must die and be covered in sediment quickly (near moving water).
Page 1 On what parts of the Earth do we find fossils? Areas that were moving, shallow water when those organisms lived.
Inside of cover Steps to Fossils • Organism dies near/in water • Quickly covered in sediments
Inside of cover • Flesh decays, more sediments • Minerals harden in the bones
Inside of cover 5. Bones decay, only minerals are left
Page 2 HOW OLD ARE THESE FOSSILS? Relative Dating- Method used to determine the age of rocks by comparing them with other layers.
Page 2 Radiometric dating- Uses the decay of radioactive isotopes to measure the age of a rock.
Page 2 Half-life- the known amount of time it takes for half of the original isotope to decay (Uranium238 to Lead 206)
Page 3 How is the time scale organized? It expresses the major geological and biological events in Earth’s history.
Page 3 Eon- Time is split into PreCambrian and Phanerozoic.
Page 3 Era- The next largest division (Dinosaurs=Mesozoic) Period- the divisions of an era.
Page 3 Precambrian Era- The first 4 billion years on Earth, prokaryotes 1st then multicellular eukaryotes.
Page 3 Paleozoic Era- Major diversification of body plans and # of species. Life in oceans 1st, then moved to land. 2 mass extinctions.
Page 3 Mesozoic Era- Early mammals 1st, then dominated by reptiles (dinosaurs). 1st flowering plants and birds.
Page 3 Cenozoic Era- Mammals are dominant life-form, diversified quickly
Page 3 Cambrian Explosion- When ancestors of most animal groups diversified.
Page 3 K-T Boundary- Layer between Mesozoic and Cenozoic eras. Evidence of impact event (iridium).
Page 3 Plate Tectonics- Movement of large continental plates.
Page 4 Origins of Earth Spontaneous Generation- Idea that life arises from non-life. Example- mice came from damp hay and corn
Page 4 Theory of Biogenesis- Only living organisms can produce other living organisms.
Page 4 How did complex molecules join together? Primordial Soup Hypothesis- If early Earth had mix of gases, organic cmpds could be made by reactions in the oceans.
Page 4 Deep-Sea Vents- Some believe that these reactions began here, where sulfur forms the base of the food chain.
Page 4 Order of Organic Molecule Organization 1. The first organic molecules originated
Page 4 • Formation of proteins • Genetic code that could produce these proteins.
Page 4 4. Formation of membranes, molecules become cells
Page 4 Cellular Evolution 1. 1st cells were prokaryotes (bacteria), very simple with no nucleus or cell parts. Similar to archaea bacteria (thermophiles)
Page 4 2. Photosynthesizing Prokaryotes- Archaea used sulfur for food, next organisms used light (photosynthesis)
Page 4 3. Endosymbiont Theory- Ancestors of eukaryotes lived in association with prokaryotes. Explains DNA in chloroplasts and mitochondria.
Page 5 Evolution- Idea that organisms CHANGE OVER TIME as a result of “genetic variations” enabling them to ADAPT to changing environments.
Page 5 Evolution explains….. • How living things develop from ancestors
Page 5 b. How Earth came to be populated by species
Page 5 Evidence for evolution can be seen in…. • Cell similarities in all life • Similar proteins in all cells
Page 5 • Many species disappearing from Earth • Living species being different from ancestors
Page 5 • Organisms being suited to environments
Page 5 • Extinction- When a species that once lived on the Earth no longer exists. Death rate is higher than birth rate
