• Overview: Changing Life on a Changing Earth
• Life is a continuum
– Extending from the earliest organisms to thegreat variety of species that exist today

• Geological events that alter environments
– Change the course of biological evolution
• Conversely, life changes the planet that itinhabits

• Geologic history and biological history have
been episodic – Marked by what were in essence revolutions
that opened many new ways of life

• Concept 26.1: Conditions on early Earth made
the origin of life possible• Most biologists now think that it is at least a
credible hypothesis
– That chemical and physical processes on earlyEarth produced very simple cells through asequence of stages
• According to one hypothetical scenario
– There were four main stages in this process

Synthesis of Organic Compounds on Early Earth
• Earth formed about 4.6 billion years ago
– Along with the rest of the solar system
• Earth’s early atmosphere
– Contained water vapor and many chemicalsreleased by volcanic eruptions

As material circulated through the apparatus,Miller and Urey periodically collected samples for analysis. Theyidentified a variety of organic molecules, including amino acids suchas alanine and glutamic acid that are common in the proteins of organisms. They also found many other amino acids and complex,oily hydrocarbons.
RESULTS
Figure 26.2
Miller and Urey set up a closed system in their laboratory to simulate conditions thought to have existed on earlyEarth. A warmed flask of water simulated the primeval sea. Thestrongly reducing “atmosphere” in the system consisted of H 2,methane (CH 4), ammonia (NH 3), and water vapor. Sparks weredischarged in the synthetic atmosphere to mimic lightning. Acondenser cooled the atmosphere, raining water and any dissolvedcompounds into the miniature sea.

CONCLUSION Organic molecules, a first step in the origin of life, can form in a strongly reducing atmosphere.
• Laboratory experiments simulating an early
Earth atmosphere – Have produced organic molecules from
inorganic precursors, but the existence of such
an atmosphere on early Earth is unlikely

the first life on Earth arose – May have come from space
• Carbon compounds
– Have been found in some of the meteoritesthat have landed on Earth

Protobionts
• Protobionts
– Are aggregates of abiotically producedmolecules surrounded by a membrane or membrane-like structure
8/14/2019 26- Biological Diversity Text
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/26-biological-diversity-text 13/65Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
• Laboratory experiments demonstrate that
protobionts – Could have formed spontaneously from
abiotically produced organic compounds
• For example, small membrane-boundeddroplets called liposomes
– Can form when lipids or other organicmolecules are added to water

(a) Simple reproduction. This lipo-some is “giving birth” to smaller liposomes (LM).
(b) Simple metabolism. If enzymes—in this case,phosphorylase and amylase—are included in thesolution from which the droplets self-assemble,some liposomes can carry out simple metabolicreactions and export the products.

found to catalyze many different reactions,including
– Self-splicing
– Making complementary copies of shortstretches of their own sequence or other shortpieces of RNA
