Slide 3 of 36
Formation of Earth
Formation of Earth
Hypotheses about Earth’s early history are based on a relatively small amount of evidence.
Gaps and uncertainties make it likely that scientific ideas about the origin of life will change.
End Show
17-2 Earth's Early History
Slide 4 of 36
Formation of Earth
Evidence shows that Earth was not “born” in a single event.
Pieces of cosmic debris were probably attracted to one another over the course of 100 million years.
While Earth was young, it was struck by one or more objects, producing enough heat to melt the entire globe.
End Show
17-2 Earth's Early History
Slide 5 of 36
Formation of Earth
Once Earth melted, its elements rearranged themselves according to density.
The most dense elements formed the planet’s core.
Moderately dense elements floated to the surface, cooled, and formed a solid crust.
The least dense elements formed the first atmosphere.

What substances made up Earth's early atmosphere?

Slide 7 of 36
Formation of Earth
Earth's early atmosphere probably contained hydrogen cyanide, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, nitrogen, hydrogen sulfide, and water.
End Show
17-2 Earth's Early History
Slide 8 of 36
Formation of Earth
Scientists infer that about four billion years ago, Earth cooled and solid rocks formed on its surface.
Millions of years later, volcanic activity shook Earth’s crust.
About 3.8 billion years ago, Earth’s surface cooled enough for water to remain a liquid, and oceans covered much of the surface.

The First Organic Molecules
The First Organic Molecules
Could organic molecules have evolved under conditions on early Earth?
In the 1950s, Stanley Miller and Harold Urey tried to answer that question by simulating conditions on the early Earth in a laboratory setting.

Slide 12 of 36
The First Organic Molecules
Miller and Urey's experiments suggested how mixtures of the organic compounds necessary for life could have arisen from simpler compounds present on a primitive Earth.
Although their simulations of early Earth were not accurate, experiments with current knowledge yielded similar results.

The Puzzle of Life's Origin
The Puzzle of Life's Origin
Evidence suggests that 200–300 million years after Earth had liquid water, cells similar to modern bacteria were common.

The Puzzle of Life's Origin
Formation of Microspheres
In certain conditions, large organic molecules form tiny bubbles called proteinoid microspheres.
Microspheres are not cells, but they have selectively permeable membranes and can store and release energy.
End Show
17-2 Earth's Early History
Slide 15 of 36
The Puzzle of Life's Origin
Hypotheses suggest that structures similar to microspheres might have acquired more characteristics of living cells.

The Puzzle of Life's Origin
Evolution of RNA and DNA
How could DNA and RNA have evolved? Several hypotheses suggest:
• Some RNA sequences can help DNA replicate under the right conditions.
• Some RNA molecules can even grow and duplicate themselves suggesting RNA might have existed before DNA.

Free Oxygen
Free Oxygen
Microscopic fossils, or microfossils, of unicellular prokaryotic organisms resembling modern bacteria have been found in rocks over 3.5 billion years old.
These first life-forms evolved without oxygen.

Slide 19 of 36
Free Oxygen
About 2.2 billion years ago, photosynthetic bacteria began to pump oxygen into the oceans.
Next, oxygen gas accumulated in the atmosphere.

Free Oxygen
What occurred when oxygen was added to Earth's atmosphere?
End Show

Slide 21 of 36
Free Oxygen
The rise of oxygen in the atmosphere drove some life forms to extinction, while other life forms evolved new, more efficient metabolic pathways that used oxygen for respiration.

Origin of Eukaryotic Cells
About 2 billion years ago, prokaryotic cells began evolving internal cell membranes.
The result was the ancestor of all eukaryotic cells.
According to the endosymbiotic theory, eukaryotic cells formed from a symbiosis among several different prokaryotes.

Sexual Reproduction and Multicellularity
Most prokaryotes reproduce asexually. Asexual reproduction:
• yields daughter cells that are exact copies of the parent cell.
• restricts genetic variation to mutations in DNA.
Sexual Reproduction and Multicellularity
End Show
17-2 Earth's Early History
Slide 30 of 36
Sexual reproduction shuffles genes in each generation. In sexual reproduction:
• offspring never resemble parents exactly
• there is an increased probability that favorable combinations will be produced
• there is an increased chance of evolutionary change due to natural selection
