WHAT DO YOU THINK EARLY EARTH WAS LIKE?
• HOW OLD?
• 4.5 BILLION YEARS
• BIG BANG - GRAVITY CAUSES DUST PARTICLES
TO CONDENSE
• METEORS FOR MILLIONS OF YEARS - HOW HOT
WOULD THE EARTH BE?
• EARTH HAS TO COOL DOWN - STEAM ESCAPES
AND RAIN ALLOWS COLLECTION OF WATER EARTH NOW HAS……
• ATMOSPHERE OF AMMONIA, METHANE,
WATER VAPOR, CO2, AND NITROGEN
• WHAT IS MISSING?

GEOLOGICAL TIME
• TOO OLD FOR YEARS OR MONTHS
• FOUR ERAS DEPENDING ON WHICH ORGANISMS
LIVED
• PRECAMBRIAN
• PALEOZOIC
• MESOZOIC
• CENOZOIC

WHY DO WE HAVE DIFFERENT ERA’S?

PRECAMBRIAN
• WHAT DO SCIENTISTS THINK WAS ALIVE WAY
BACK THEN??
• BACTERIA
• THIS ERA LASTED FOR BILLIONS OF YEARS
UNTIL MORE LIVING ORGANISMS EVOLVED

PALEOZOIC ERA
540 MILLION YEARS AGO!!
• NOW THE EARTH IS GETTING LARGER LIFE!
• FIRST PART OF PALEOZOIC IS CALLED
CAMBRIAN
• PROTISTS!
• SEA PLANTS!
• SEA ANIMALS!
• LAND PLANTS!
• LAND ANIMALS!
• WHAT ENDED THE PALEOZOIC ERA??
• MASS EXTINCTION!

LOUIS PASTEUR’S EXPERIMENT

LOUIS PASTEUR
Pasteur filled a flask with medium, heated it to kill all life,
and then drew out the neck of the flask into a long S.
This prevented microorganisms in the air from entering the flask,
yet allowed air to flow freely. If the swan neck was broken,
microbes could enter the flask and grow.

ONE CELL ORGANISMS NOW!
• FIRST BACTERIA AROUND 3.5 BILLION YEARS AGO
• SOME ARE CYANOBACTERIA - THESE ARE
PHOTOSYNTHETIC BACTERIA - HMMMMMMM
• WHAT ARE THESE BACTERIA GOING TO PRODUCE?
• ALMOST 10% ABOUT 2.5 BILLION YEARS AGO
• WHAT TYPE OF CELLS ARE BACTERIA?
• WHAT TYPE OF CELLS ARE ALL OTHER ORGANISMS?
• WHERE DID EUKARYOTIC CELLS COME FROM?
• ENDOSYMBIOSIS
