FOCUS © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. Urry • Cain • Wasserman • Minorsky • Jackson • Reece Lecture Presentations by Kathleen Fitzpatrick and Nicole Tunbridge 24 Early Life and the Diversification of Prokaryotes
2.
© 2014 Pearson
Education, Inc. Earth formed 4.6 billion years ago The oldest fossil organisms are prokaryotes dating back to 3.5 billion years ago Prokaryotes are single-celled organisms in the domains Bacteria and Archaea Some of the earliest prokaryotic cells lived in dense mats that resembled stepping stones Overview: The First Cells
3.

Education, Inc. Figure 24.1

© 2014 Pearson
Education, Inc. Prokaryotes are the most abundant organisms on Earth There are more in a handful of fertile soil than the number of people who have ever lived Prokaryotes thrive almost everywhere, including places too acidic, salty, cold, or hot for most other organisms Some prokaryotes colonize the bodies of other organisms
5.

Education, Inc. Figure 24.2
6.
© 2014 Pearson
Education, Inc. Concept 24.1: Conditions on early Earth made the origin of life possible Chemical and physical processes on early Earth may have produced very simple cells through a sequence of stages 1. Abiotic synthesis of small organic molecules 2. Joining of these small molecules into macromolecules 3. Packaging of molecules into protocells, membrane- bound droplets that maintain a consistent internal chemistry 4. Origin of self-replicating molecules
7.
© 2014 Pearson
Education, Inc. Synthesis of Organic Compounds on Early Earth Earth’s early atmosphere likely contained water vapor and chemicals released by volcanic eruptions (nitrogen, nitrogen oxides, carbon dioxide, methane, ammonia, and hydrogen) As Earth cooled, water vapor condensed into oceans, and most of the hydrogen escaped into space
8.
© 2014 Pearson
Education, Inc. In the 1920s, A. I. Oparin and J. B. S. Haldane hypothesized that the early atmosphere was a reducing environment In 1953, Stanley Miller and Harold Urey conducted lab experiments that showed that the abiotic synthesis of organic molecules in a reducing atmosphere is possible
9.
© 2014 Pearson
Education, Inc. However, the evidence is not yet convincing that the early atmosphere was in fact reducing Instead of forming in the atmosphere, the first organic compounds may have been synthesized near volcanoes or deep-sea vents Miller-Urey-type experiments demonstrate that organic molecules could have formed with various possible atmospheres Organic molecules have also been found in meteorites Video: Hydrothermal Vent Video: Tubeworms

Education, Inc. Abiotic Synthesis of Macromolecules RNA monomers have been produced spontaneously from simple molecules Small organic molecules polymerize when they are concentrated on hot sand, clay, or rock
13.
© 2014 Pearson
Education, Inc. Protocells Replication and metabolism are key properties of life and may have appeared together Protocells may have been fluid-filled vesicles with a membrane-like structure In water, lipids and other organic molecules can spontaneously form vesicles with a lipid bilayer
14.
© 2014 Pearson
Education, Inc. Adding clay can increase the rate of vesicle formation Vesicles exhibit simple reproduction and metabolism and maintain an internal chemical environment

Education, Inc. Self-Replicating RNA The first genetic material was probably RNA, not DNA RNA molecules called ribozymes have been found to catalyze many different reactions For example, ribozymes can make complementary copies of short stretches of RNA
20.
© 2014 Pearson
Education, Inc. Natural selection has produced self-replicating RNA molecules RNA molecules that were more stable or replicated more quickly would have left the most descendant RNA molecules The early genetic material might have formed an “RNA world”
21.
© 2014 Pearson
Education, Inc. Vesicles with RNA capable of replication would have been protocells RNA could have provided the template for DNA, a more stable genetic material
22.
© 2014 Pearson
Education, Inc. Fossil Evidence of Early Life Many of the oldest fossils are stromatolites, layered rocks that formed from the activities of prokaryotes up to 3.5 billion years ago Ancient fossils of individual prokaryotic cells have also been discovered For example, fossilized prokaryotic cells have been found in 3.4-billion-year-old rocks from Australia

Cell-Surface Structures A key feature of nearly all prokaryotic cells is their cell wall, which maintains cell shape, protects the cell, and prevents it from bursting in a hypotonic environment Eukaryote cell walls are made of cellulose or chitin Bacterial cell walls contain peptidoglycan, a network of modified sugars cross-linked by polypeptides

Education, Inc. Archaeal cell walls contain polysaccharides and proteins but lack peptidoglycan Scientists use the Gram stain to classify bacteria by cell wall composition Gram-positive bacteria have simpler walls with a large amount of peptidoglycan Gram-negative bacteria have less peptidoglycan and an outer membrane that can be toxic
