Notas do Editor

  1. Biologists have described more than 1.7 million species of living organisms!!!
  2. There are 7 Emergent properties of life Complex, ordered structure Reproduction (biogenesis) Growth & development Energy acquisition & transformation Response to environment (stimuli) Homeostasis Evolutionary change & adaptation
  3. Earth was formed about 4.5 bya Lacked a suitable atmosphere for life, much less a hydrosphere or even land surfaces!
  4. Early earth was not hospitable to life as we know it: Ammonia, nitrogen, methane, water, carbon dioxide
  5. Stanley Miller conducted experiments in 1950’s abiotic origins of building blocks of macro-organic compounds Primordial sea in flask in his hand, electrical source above simulates electrical discharge into ancient “atmosphere” Containing ammonia, hydrogen, methane and water vapor These and similar reactions can/have produced all 20 amino acids, several sugars, lipids, nucleotides & ATP! Which can produce the macro-organic molecules needed to build life.
  6. Some meteorites have crashed to earth containing organic molecules.
  7. What were the first genes like? Hypothesis: -short strands of RNA that replicated w/o enzymatic proteins -in lab, short RNA strands can assemble spontaneously from nucleotide monomers w/o enzymatic proteins -end up with a bunch of RNA strands all with different, random sequences of nucleotides -some self replicate (varying success among strands), ones with best success increase in frequency ALSO... -RNA are able to self replicate because their are catalytic RNAs called ribozymes -early ribozymes could have catalyzed their own replication
  8. *cooperation much more efficient if packaged together in a membrane (pre-cells) keeps molecules close, in a solution different from environment *lab experiments show that such pre-cells can form spontaneously from abiotically produced organic compounds Certain types of pre-cells: -have selectively permeable membranes -store energy in form of voltage across their membranes -can discharge this voltage -if also include certain enzymes, pre-cells display a rudimentary metabolism (absorb substrate from surroundings and release reaction products) Left – one way RNA and polypeptides could have cooperated in a prebiotic world Cooperation here is between nucleic acids and polypeptides Right – a membrane enclosed pre-cell Here RNA genes benefit exclusively from their protein products rather than sharing them with other molecular complexes
  9. From these pre-cells, just a matter of Natural selection to the first living cells! By 3.5 billion years ago, prokaryotes flourishing, All branches of life originated from those ancient prokaryotes! Artist’s rendition of what Earth looked like ~3billion years ago Pad-like objects represent prokaryotes (know from the fossil record)
  10. Prokaryotes Lived and evolved alone on Earth for 2 billion years! Today found whereever there is life, outnumber all the eukaryotes combined Found in hostile habitats – e.g. thermophiles of hotsprings, walls of a gold mine 2 miles below Earth’s surface Some cause serious illness (Black death (aka bubonic plague), TB, cholera, food poisoning) But also are beneficial (bacteria in our intestines give us vitamins, some in our mouths prevent growth of harmful fungi) Also largely responsible for break-down of dead organic materials *without prokaryotes, live on earth would end (but could do just fine without eukaryotes)
  11. Shape is important identifier of prokaryotes 3 shapes are: Top left – spirochetes (spirals, e.g. syphilis, Lyme disease) Bottom left – cocci (spheres, from Greek word for berries, e.g. staph – staph infection, streptococcus – strep throat) Bottom right – bacilli (rods) Most prokaryotes are unicellular and very small (but some form colonies, some have simple multicellular arrangement with specialized cells)
  12. Left – yellow rods are bacteria (Haemophilus influenzae) on skin cells of human nose interior -pathogens transmitted through air, cause pneumonia and other lung infections that kill ~4million people per yr around world Right – tick that carries the Lyme disease and Bull’s eye rash Lymes is currently the most widespread pest carried disease in the US Caused by a spirochaete bacterium carried by ticks that live on deer and field mice Usually starts as a red rash shaped like a bull’s eye around the bite Antibiotics cure if given within a month of the bite Without treatment = arthritis, heart disease, nervous disorders Use insect repellant, wear light colored clothing & check for ticks!
  13. After photosynthetic prokaryotes evolved, oxygen accumulated in Earth’s atmosphere (~2.5 mya) Prokaryotes had earth to themselves for about 2 billion years and then... Eukaryotes arrived about 1.7 million years ago -explosion in forms of eukaryotes (these were the protists) -then (~1 billion ya) multicellular forms of eukaryotes (again, protists; from colonial single cell forms) Then first animals, followed by... At the beginning of the Paleozoic, was the Cambrian explosion -by the end of this, all major phyla had evolved For first three billion years of Earth – all life was aquatic, -~475 mya, plants and their symbiotic fungi colonize land (even today these plants have their fungi which aid in absorption of water and minerals from soil) Once plants on land, animals follow (amphibians that descended from air-breathing fish with fleshy, weight-supporting fins) Then reptiles from amphibians, birds & mammals from reptiles.
  14. Eukaryotes evolved about 1.7 million years ago -explosion in forms of eukaryotes (these were the protists) -then (~1 billion ya) multicellular forms of eukaryotes (again, protists; from colonial single cell forms) Eukaryotes differ from Prokaryotes in that.... Thought they got these organelles through endosymbiosis
  15. Evidence to support this theory includes...
  16. Earliest forms were similar to present day unicellular members of the Kingdom Protista
  17. Flagellate algae (Chlamydomonas) – unicellular green algae with a pair of flagella
  18. For first three billion years of Earth – all life was aquatic, -~475 mya, plants and their symbiotic fungi colonize land (even today these plants have their fungi which aid in absorption of water and minerals from soil) Once plants on land, animals follow (amphibians that descended from air-breathing fish with fleshy, weight-supporting fins) Then reptiles from amphibians, birds & mammals from reptiles.
  19. Then first animals, followed by... At the beginning of the Paleozoic, was the Cambrian explosion -by the end of this, all major phyla had evolved
  20. At the highest level of the higherarchy = Domains (3) Used to be the 5 kingdoms but more recent DNA evidence says that -Bacteria & Archaea (both only Prokaryotes) used to be grouped in the same kingdom but now DNA tells us that Archaea are at least as different from bacteria as they are from eukaryotes
  21. Below domain, we have... Until we are down to a single organism that can be defined by two names: Genus and species Used to be was ordered based on morphology – more and more on genetics Names and groupings change as our understanding of species grows!!!
