Opener…Wednesday!!! 12/16 Please list FIVE things you want to know about evolution & the history of the EARTH.
2
Ch 14: History of Life 14.1 Biogenesis
3
What’s BIO-GENESIS? All living things come from other living thingsAll living things come from other living things Wasn’t always thought this way...Wasn’t always thought this way...
4
Old Schoolers: Spontaneous Generation Living things arise from nonliving thingsLiving things arise from nonliving things TRUE?TRUE? NO!!!NO!!! Disproven by:Disproven by: –Redi –Spallanzani –Pasteur

Redi’s Expt

Let’s Review!

Project Stuff due… Team Leaders—Team Leaders— –Collect your team’s work Mark them off your listMark them off your list Turn list in to meTurn list in to me –Make sure their name is on anything they turn in EVERYTHING must be emailed to me by 5pm todayEVERYTHING must be emailed to me by 5pm today –Exception: beach walkover stuff can be turned in Friday.

Want BioBucks? Want to put together the text and design for flyers and magnets?Want to put together the text and design for flyers and magnets? Need to make a couple different onesNeed to make a couple different ones See me at a break or end of classSee me at a break or end of class

14-2: Earth’s History
12
What was EARLY EARTH like? VERY different conditionsVERY different conditions Hypotheses, testsHypotheses, tests
14
So, How Old is Earth? ~4 billion years~4 billion years –Look at the wall! How do we know?How do we know? Radiometric DatingRadiometric Dating
15
Radiometric Dating: how’s it work? Radioactive isotopesRadioactive isotopes Each: Specific rate of decay Each: Specific rate of decay Half-life: Time for ½ to decay to stable formHalf-life: Time for ½ to decay to stable form C-14 (radioactive) : C-12 (stable)C-14 (radioactive) : C-12 (stable) What are isotopes?? Half-life for C:Half-life for C: 5,730 years
16
12.1 The Fossil Record 2. Radiometric dating uses decay of unstable isotopesuses decay of unstable isotopes Isotopes (different number of neutrons) have specific “half-lives”Isotopes (different number of neutrons) have specific “half-lives” Estimates an actual AGEEstimates an actual AGE neutrons protons 2 Ways to Age Fossils
17
Use Carbon-14 to Age Things < 60,000 yrs old
18
12.1 The Fossil Record A half-life is the amount of time it takes for half of the isotope to decay.
19
An Example...
20
So...where and how did LIFE begin? Three main ideas –Organic molecule hypotheses –Early cell structure hypotheses –RNA as early genetic material
21
I. Organic molecule hypotheses Organic = ????Organic = ???? Elements in planet, so, how organic?Elements in planet, so, how organic? FIRST--FIRST-- Oparin & Haldane’s Hypothesis (1920s)Oparin & Haldane’s Hypothesis (1920s) –Early earth conditions –Ammonia, H gas, water vapor, hydrocarbons (methane)
22
What did they think happened? High tempsHigh temps Gases combine simple org cmpdsGases combine simple org cmpds –Amino acids Earth cooled, water condensation lakes, etc & AAs gather thereEarth cooled, water condensation lakes, etc & AAs gather there Lightning, UV catalyze chem rxnsLightning, UV catalyze chem rxns macromolecules (proteins) macromolecules (proteins) Didn’t do an expt....Didn’t do an expt....
23
Miller & Urey’s Expt (1953-based on Oparin & Haldane Hyp)(1953-based on Oparin & Haldane Hyp) Variety of organic cmpds produced!Variety of organic cmpds produced! Lots other researchers sinceLots other researchers since CO 2, O 2 interfere w/it...so, must not have been present, or happened under water.CO 2, O 2 interfere w/it...so, must not have been present, or happened under water.
25
Another Option Organic cmpds came from meteoritesOrganic cmpds came from meteorites
26
II. Early cell structure hypotheses How can you get cells from organic cmpds? Cell-like structures first! 2. Lipid membrane hypothesis: –Cell-like, but not cells –Microspheres proteinsproteins –Coacervates Lipid, AA, sugar dropletsLipid, AA, sugar droplets
27
1. Iron-sulfide bubbles hypothesis
28
III. RNA as early genetic material Ribozymes: present today in unicellular euk’s present today in unicellular euk’s RNA that can catalyze reactions... even their own replication
30
Let’s Review!
31
Opener: Sure Happy It’s...Dec. 17 th !!! REVIEW...Summarize each experiment: Redi Spallanzani Pasteur
32
14-3: Origin of Life
33
The Origin of Heredity Cells/life-forms must be able to replicate...WHY?Cells/life-forms must be able to replicate...WHY?
34
What’s a RIBOZYME? RNA that catalyzes a chem rxnRNA that catalyzes a chem rxn Also allows RNA to self-replicateAlso allows RNA to self-replicate “the RNA world”“the RNA world”...evidence that THIS may have been the 1 st genetic material!...evidence that THIS may have been the 1 st genetic material!
35
3 Major Inferences about Early Earth: Little/no Oxygen gasLittle/no Oxygen gas Organic molecules “food” in the envtOrganic molecules “food” in the envt Oldest fossils of cells ~ bacterial sizeOldest fossils of cells ~ bacterial size Anaerobic, heterotrophic prokaryotesAnaerobic, heterotrophic prokaryotes
36
Diversity of Life Led to Competition for food...who came next? AUTOTROPHS!AUTOTROPHS! Likely chemoautotrophs...why?Likely chemoautotrophs...why? Example—Example— Archaea-harsh envtsArchaea-harsh envts
37
THEN came Photosynthesis: Evidence 1.Fossils 3.5 bya (cyanobacteria appeared)3.5 bya (cyanobacteria appeared) StromatolitesStromatolites
38
2. Chemical Traces: Oxygen Harmful to many unicellular organismsHarmful to many unicellular organisms Some able to bind it...1st sign of aerobic respiration!Some able to bind it...1st sign of aerobic respiration! Built up in atmosphere (~bill yrs?)Built up in atmosphere (~bill yrs?) OzoneOzone
