Chapter 26 reading review
(group/ class discussion & notes)
• “Changing Life on a Changing Earth” p.512
• The appearance of photosynthetic organisms had
a dramatic affect….it added oxygen to the
atmosphere.
• Eventually plants start growing on land…allowed
animals to live on land (food).
• Fossil record shows many large changes in the
organisms that were alive at any one time.
• The further back you go in time, the fossil record
gets less complete….(scientists are less sure
about things that happen far in the past)
Chapter 26 reading review
(group/ class discussion & notes)
• Conditions on Early Earth made the origin of life
possible p.513
• The chemical and physical processes helped to
form the first basic cells.
(hypotheses…uncertain):
– 1) synthesis of small organic (carbon-based)
molecule
– 2.)joining of molecules into polymers (long
chain of molecules)
– 3.)molecules form probionts
– 4.)self replicating molecules made inheritance
possible.

Synthesis of organic compounds on Early Earth
p.513-514

It is unlikely that life would form on any
planet…especially the first few hundred years.
• The conditions on the planet were much different from
the current conditions.
• There was a “soup” of organic molecules all over Earth.
• Many scientists think that the organic compounds formed
near underwater volcanoes.

first 3.5 billion years of life on earth, though their diversity started to
decline by the start of the Cambrian due to grazing and burrowing
organisms.
