  1. Chapter 14 The History of Life Section 1: Fossil Evidence of Change Section2: The Origin of Life

  2. The History of Life Chapter 14 14.1 Fossil Evidence of Change Land Environments • Earth formed about 4.6 billion years ago. • Gravity pulled the densest elements to the center of the planet. • After about 500 million years, a solid crust formed on the surface.

  3. The History of Life Chapter 14 14.1 Fossil Evidence of Change Atmosphere • The gases that likely made up the atmosphere are those that were expelled by volcanoes. • Water vapor (H2O) • Carbon dioxide (CO2) • Sulfur dioxide (SO2) • Carbon monoxide (CO) • Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) • Hydrogen cyanide (HCN) • Nitrogen (N2) • Hydrogen (H2)

  4. The History of Life Chapter 14 14.1 Fossil Evidence of Change Clues in Rocks • A fossil is any preserved evidence of an organism. • Most organisms decompose before they have a chance to become fossilized.

  5. The History of Life Chapter 14 14.1 Fossil Evidence of Change

  6. The History of Life Chapter 14

  7. The History of Life Chapter 14 14.1 Fossil Evidence of Change Fossil Formation • Nearly all fossils are formed in sedimentary rock. • The sediments build up until they cover the organism's remains. • Minerals replace the organic matter or fill the empty pore spaces of the organism.

  8. The History of Life Chapter 14 14.1 Fossil Evidence of Change Dating fossils • Relative dating is a method used to determine the age of rocks by comparing them with those in other layers.

  9. The History of Life • Radioactive isotopes that can be used for radiometric dating are found only in igneous or metamorphic rocks. Chapter 14 14.1 Fossil Evidence of Change Radiometric Dating • Uses the decay of radioactive isotopes to measure the age of a rock

  10. The History of Life Chapter 14 14.1 Fossil Evidence of Change The Geologic Time Scale • The geological time scale is a model that expresses the major geological and biological events in Earth's history. • The geologic time scale is divided into the Precambrian time and the Phanerozoic eon. • Eras of the Phanerozoic eon include the Paleozoic, Mesozoic, and Cenozoic eras. • Each era is divided into one or more periods.

  11. The History of Life Chapter 14 14.1 Fossil Evidence of Change Precambrian • Nearly 90 percent of Earth's entire history, stretching from the formation of Earth to the beginning of the Paleozoic era about 542 million years ago • Autotrophic prokaryotes enriched the atmosphere with oxygen.

  12. The History of Life Chapter 14

  13. The History of Life Chapter 14 14.1 Fossil Evidence of Change The Paleozoic Era • The ancestors of most major animal groups diversified in what scientists call the Cambrian explosion. • Life in the oceans continued to evolve at the end of the Cambrian period. • Fish, land plants, and insects appeared during the Ordovician and Silurian periods. • The first tetrapods emerged in the Devonian.

  14. The History of Life Chapter 14 14.1 Fossil Evidence of Change • A mass extinction ended the Paleozoic era at the end of the Permian period. • Between 60 and 75 percent of the species alive went extinct.

  15. The History of Life Chapter 14 14.1 Fossil Evidence of Change The Mesozoic Era • Mammals and dinosaurs first appeared late in the Triassic period, and flowering plants evolved from nonflowering plants. • Birds evolved from a group of predatory dinosaurs in the middle of the Jurassic period. • About 65 million years ago, a meteorite struck Earth.

  16. The History of Life Chapter 14 14.1 Fossil Evidence of Change • Platetectonics describes the movement of several large plates that make up the surface of Earth. • These plates, some of which contain continents, move atop a partially molten layer of rock underneath them.

  17. The History of Life Chapter 14

  18. The History of Life Chapter 14 14.1 Fossil Evidence of Change The Cenozoic Era • Mammals became the dominant land animals. • After the mass extinction at the end of the Mesozoic era, mammals of all kinds began to diversify.

  19. The History of Life Chapter 14 14.2 The Origin of Life Origins: Early Ideas • Spontaneous generation is the idea that life arises from nonlife. • Francesco Redi, an Italian scientist, tested the idea that flies arose spontaneously from rotting meat.

  20. The History of Life Chapter 14 14.2 The Origin of Life • Thetheory of biogenesis states that only living organisms can produce other living organisms. • Louis Pasteur designed an experiment to show that biogenesis was true even for microorganisms.

  21. The History of Life Chapter 14 14.2 The Origin of Life Origins: Modern Ideas • Simple organic molecule formation • The primordial soup hypothesis was an early hypothesis about the origin of life. • Organic molecules could have been synthesized from simple reactions. • UV light from the Sun and electric discharge in lightning might have been the primary energy sources.

  22. The History of Life Chapter 14 14.2 The Origin of Life • Stanley Miller and Harold Urey were the first to show that simple organic molecules could be made from inorganic compounds. • Later, scientists found that hydrogen cyanide could be formed from even simpler molecules in simulated early Earth environments.

  23. The History of Life Chapter 14

  24. The History of Life Chapter 14 14.2 The Origin of Life Making Proteins • Life requires proteins. • One possible mechanism for the formation of proteins would be if amino acids were bound to a clay particle.

  25. The History of Life Chapter 14 14.2 The Origin of Life Genetic Code • Some RNA sequences appear to have changed very little through time. • Many biologists consider RNA to have been life's first coding system. • Other researchers have proposed that clay crystals could have provided an initial template for RNA replication.

  26. The History of Life Chapter 14 14.2 The Origin of Life Cellular Evolution • Scientists hypothesize that the first cells were prokaryotes. • Many scientists think that modern prokaryotes called archaea are the closest relatives of Earth's first cells.

  27. The History of Life Chapter 14 14.2 The Origin of Life Photosynthesizing Prokaryotes • Archaea are autotrophic. • They do not obtain their energy from the Sun. • Archaea also do not need or produce oxygen.

  28. The History of Life Chapter 14 14.2 The Origin of Life • Many scientists think that photosynthesizing prokaryotes evolved not long after the archaea. • Prokaryotes, called cyanobacteria, have been found in rocks as old as 3.5 billion years.

  29. The History of Life Chapter 14 14.2 The Origin of Life The Endosymbiont Theory • The ancestors of eukaryotic cells lived in association with prokaryotic cells. • The relationship between the cells became mutually beneficial, and the prokaryotic symbionts became organelles in eukaryotic cells. • This theory explains the origin of chloroplasts and mitochondria.
