  1. Ch 26: The Tree of Life-An Intro to Biological Diversity • What do you know about the origins of life on Earth? • Earth is 4.6 billion yrs old (byo) • Oldest rocks – 3.8 byo • Oldest fossils – 3.5 byo • How was primitive Earth different than current Earth? • Little O2, much H2O, CH4, CO, CO2 • Lightning • Volcanic activity • UV radiation • Meteorite bombardment • How do we get “the living” from “the non-living?” • 1920’s Oparin & Haldane postulated early Earth favored rxns that formed organic cmpds from inorganic cmpds • 1953 Miller-Urey experiment test Oparin & Haldane’s hypothesis

  2. Figure 26.2 Can organic molecules form in a reducing atmosphere? • Repeated experiments have formed • All 20 amino acids • several sugars • lipids • purines & pyrimindines • ATP (when phosphate is added) • ALL MONOMERS

  3. Ch 26: The Tree of Life-An Intro to Biological Diversity • What do you know about the origins of life on Earth? • How was primitive Earth different than current Earth? • How do we get “the living” from “the non-living?” • 1920’s Oparin & Haldane postulated early Earth favored rxns that formed organic cmpds from inorganic cmpds • 1953 Miller-Urey experiment test Oparin& Haldane’s hypothesis • How were monomers connected to make polymers? • Sydney Fox dripped monomers on hot sand, clay or rocks • Created proteinoids – polypeptides created by abiotic means • What’s next? • Protobionts – abiotically produced molecules surrounded by a membrane • Primitive cells • Imprecise reproduction • Simple metabolism & excitability (similar to neurons) • How does natural selection fit in? • - Protobionts best suited to their environment could reproduce & create others best suited to their environment

  4. Glucose-phosphate 20 m Glucose-phosphate Phosphorylase Starch Amylase Phosphate Maltose Maltose (a) Simple reproduction. This lipo-some is “giving birth” to smallerliposomes (LM). (b) Simple metabolism. If enzymes—in this case, phosphorylase and amylase—are included in the solution from which the droplets self-assemble, some liposomes can carry out simple metabolic reactions and export the products. Figure 26.4 Laboratory versions of protobionts

  5. Ch 26: The Tree of Life-An Intro to Biological Diversity • What do you know about the origins of life on Earth? • How was primitive Earth different than current Earth? • How do we get “the living” from “the non-living?” • How were monomers connected to make polymers? • What’s next? • Protobionts – abiotically produced molecules surrounded by a membrane • Primitive cells • Imprecise reproduction • Simple metabolism & excitability (similar to neurons) • How does natural selection fit in? • Protobionts best suited to their environment could reproduce & create others best suited to their environment • What was the first genetic material? • RNA – single stranded • Ribozymes – can replicate RNA

  6. Ribozyme (RNA molecule) 3 Template Nucleotides 5 5 Complementary RNA copy Figure 26.5 A ribozyme capable of replicating RNA • Collections of RNA molecules best suited for their environment replicate their RNA & reproduce

  7. Ch 26: The Tree of Life-An Intro to Biological Diversity • What do you know about the origins of life on Earth? • How was primitive Earth different than current Earth? • How do we get “the living” from “the non-living?” • How were monomers connected to make polymers? • What’s next? • Protobionts – abiotically produced molecules surrounded by a membrane • Primitive cells • Imprecise reproduction • Simple metabolism & excitability (similar to neurons) • How does natural selection fit in? • Protobionts best suited to their environment could reproduce & create others best suited to their environment • What was the first genetic material? • RNA – single stranded • Ribozymes – can replicate RNA • Natural selection over millions of years • led to a diversity of the 1st prokaryotes • then…prokaryotes  eukaryotes (ENDOSYMBIOTIC THEORY) • diversity of organisms led to classification

  8. Endosymbiotic Theory
