  6. How Did Life Begin? • Life arose through a chemical process: Simple elements and compounds available on the early Earth came together to produce more complex molecules. • Ultimately, a group of these molecules became capable of self-replication. 6

  21. Amphibians

  22. Adaptations to live on land • Gills are usually lost • Lungs function • Breathe through skin • Secrete mucus • Prevent dehydration • Aids in respiration

  23. Reptiles • Body covered with scales • Lizards • Snakes • Dinosaurs

  24. Birds • Feathers • No teeth • Scales on legs

  25. Mammals • Hair or fur • Mammary glands
