Prebiotic systems chemistry suggests that high phosphate concentrations were necessary to synthesise molecular building blocks and sustain primitive cellular systems. However, current understanding of mineral solubility predicts negligible phosphate concentrations for most natural waters, yet the role of Fe2+, ...
Conditions on Early Earth If you took a trip back in time to when the Earth was forming about 4.6 billion years ago, you'd find a very different planet than the one we know and love today. The Earth likely began as a mass of hot, molten material that was constantly being bombarded by...
6.HOW LIFE BEGAN ON THE EARTH No one knows exactly how the earth began,as it happened so long ago.However,according to a (76)widelyaccepted theory,the universe began with a"Big Bang"that threw matter in all (77)directions.After that,atoms began to form and combine to create stars and...
as I had never been at sea before, I was most inexpressibly sick in body and terrified in mind. I began now seriously to reflect upon what I had done, and how justly I was
Life on land probably began about 430 million years ago, though it has existed in the water for perhaps as much as 3,000 million years. When we think of the first thing on land, we probably think of strange animals coming out of the oceans, but in fact no animals could have been liv...
Protocells are the simplest, most primitive living systems, you can think of. The oldest ancestor of life on Earth was a protocell, and when we see, what it eventually managed to evolve into, we understand why science is so fascinated with protocells. If science can create an artificial pro...

However, the underlying principles of physics and chemistry clearly applied to the Earth at the time life began, as they do today, and thus provide a framework for understanding the earliest phases of life’s history. 1.3. The Definition of Life A well-used definition of life comes from ...
The common ancestor of lobe-finned and ray-finned fish probably has simple sacs that function as primitive lungs, allowing it to gulp air when oxygen levels in the water fall too low. In ray-finned fish, these sacs evolve into the swim bladder, which is used for controlling buoyancy. ...
discuss the significance of the Urey and Miller experiments in the debate on the composition of the primitive atmosphere As hypothesized by Oparin (and Haldane), the conditions of early earth included little free oxygen, volcanic eruptions, lightning and torrential rain. It was believed that ...
