  1. Aim: How did life begin ? HW #5 Read pages 423-428 Pg. 428 section 17-2 answer Q 1-4

  2. Billions of years ago, life on Earth is thought by many scientists to have begun as simple, single organisms. About a billion years ago, increasingly complex multi-cellular organisms began to evolve.

  3. Do Now:KWL(What is Life ?)

  4. Conditions of Primitive Earth H2 He CH4 NH3

  5. Evolution of the Present Atmosphere

  6. The heterotroph hypothesis describes the possible change of the earth’s atmosphere to support life, as we know it.

  7. Organic compounds are compounds found in living things.They contain carbon, Hydrogen and Oxygen • Nucleic acids • Carbohydrates • Proteins • Lipids

  8. Stanley Miller's (and subsequent) experiments have not proven life originated in this way, only that conditions thought to have existed over 3 billion years ago were such that the spontaneous (inorganic) formation of organic macromolecules could have taken place.

  9. KWL • Go back and fill in the L column

  10. Aim: How do we define Life ? • What do living things do that non-living things cannot do?

  11. Life Functions • Digestion - breakdown of food to simpler molecules which can enter the cells Circulation - the movement of materials within an organism or its cells

  12. Life Functions • Movement - (locomotion) change in position by a living thing • Excretion - removal of waste products by an organism (wastes may include carbon dioxide, water, and urea in urine and sweat)

  13. Life Functions • Respiration - process which converts the energy in food to ATP (the form of energy which can be used by the cells) • Reproduction - the making of more organisms of one's own kind -- not needed by an individual living thing but is needed by its species

  14. Life Functions Regulation - the control of the various activities of an organism (mostly involves the nervous system and endocrine glands in complex animals) Synthesis - the production of more complex substances by combining two or more simpler substances

  15. All living things perform life functions from the smallest organism to the largest Whale Shark Uni-cellularprotozoan

  16. Digestion

  17. Circulation and Movement

  18. Excretion

  19. Respiration

  20. Reproduction Marsupial birth Paramecium Conjugation

  21. Regulation Phototropism in plant shoots

  22. Synthesis All cells synthesize compounds for use in and out of the cell
