The origin of life on Earth is a mystery of science, with no widely accepted theory but many hypotheses supported by evidence. The earliest known fossils are 3.5 billion years old, but there is evidence that bacteria-like organisms lived on Earth 3.5 billion years ago, and may have existed even earlier, when the first solid crust formed, almost 4 billion years ago. Scientists think that early life may have formed from lighting strikes or arisen in deep sea vents.

A leaf is a principal appendage of the stem of a vascular plant, usually borne laterally aboveground and specialized for photosynthesis. Leaves are collectively called foliage, as in "autumn foliage", while the leaves, stem, flower, and fruit collectively form the shoot system
A leaf is made up of three main parts: the blade (lamina), the petiole (leaf stalk), and the stipules. The blade is the flat, green surface of the leaf, and is made up of veins and veinlets. The petiole is a long, thin stalk that connects the blade to the stem. The stipules are two small leaf-like structures located on either side of the petiole base.

STRUCTURE AND FUNCTIONS OF NUCLEUS OF A CELL.pptxRASHMI M G
The nucleus is the part of a cell that contains DNA organized into chromosomes and is located in the middle of the cell. It is surrounded by the nuclear envelope, which is a double membrane that separates the nucleus from the cytoplasm. The nuclear envelope contains nuclear pores, which are gateways that allow molecules to move into and out of the nucleus.
The Cell: The Histology Guide
Nucleus - The Cell: The Histology Guide - University of Leeds
The nucleus is found in the middle of the cells, and it contains DNA arranged in chromosomes. It is surrounded by the nuclear envelope, a double nuclear membrane (outer and inner), which separates the nucleus from the cytoplasm. The outer membrane is continuous with the rough endoplasmic reticulum.
open.baypath.edu
Nucleus – BIO109 Biology I Introduction to Biology
The boundary of the nucleus, called the nuclear envelope, is a double membrane that contains small openings called nuclear pores. These pores are gateways that allow molecules to move into and out of the nucleus, enabling it to communicate with the rest of the cell.
The nucleus has three main parts:
Nuclear membrane: A protective barrier of the nucleus
Nucleoplasm: The cytoplasm of the nucleus, which is a semifluid matrix that contains chromatin, the less condensed form of DNA that organizes into chromosomes during mitosis or cell division
Nucleolus: A spherical structure that produces and assembles the cell's ribosomes
The nucleus controls and regulates the activities of the cell, such as growth and metabolism.

PRIONS-structure, multiplication, diseases.pptxRASHMI M G
PRIONS are infectious agents composed primarily of sialoglycoprotein.
This protein is called prion protein (PrP)
They contain no nucleic acid.
They cause a variety of neurodegenerative diseases in humans and animals.
According to STANLEY PRUSINER,
Prions- ‘which means proteinaceous and infectious (-on by analogy to virion) that lacks nucleic acid’.
It refers to a previously undescribed form of infection due to protein misfolding . While the infectious agent was named prion, and the specific protein that make the prion was named PrP i.e. ‘protease resistant protein’.
PRIONS proteins in the form of fibres which also occur as fold rods.
The normal protein found in a variety of tissues is referred to as PrPC (C refers to cellular or common PrP), whereas the misfolded form of PrPC is called PrPSc which is responsible for the formation of amyloid plaques that results in neurodegeneration.
PrPSc is the infectious form of PrPC, (Sc refers to scrapie, a prion disease occurring in sheep) .
PrPc is a Alpha helical while PrPSc is a beta pleated sheet
PrPc do not contain beta sheet.
PrPc protein can adopt 2 distinct different stable conformations.
All known prions induce the formation of an amyloid fold in which the protein polymerizes into an aggregate consisting of tightly packed beta sheets.
This altered structure is extremely stable and accumulates in the infected tissue causing cell death and tissue damage resulting in death of animals.
It is supposed that the diseased form of PRION (PrPSc) originated spontaneously or transmitted through ingestion of food/feed directly interacts with the normal endogenous form PrPC and enables to rearrange its structure.
As a result of interaction the normal form PrPC is converted to abnormal form (PrPSc) .
It is assumed that an unidentified cellular protein (protein X) helps the conversion of PrPC to PrPSc by bringing a molecule of each of the two together into a complex.
Main reason for the cause of prions is ‘cannibalism’ i.e. eating of one human by another human.
2 types of cannibalism – endocannibalism (eating humans from the same community) and exocannibalism ( eating humans from other communities).
The tribal ground up the brain into a pale grey soup, heated it and ate it.
Therefore, ingestion of brain tissue of dead relatives for religious reasons was likely the route of transmission.

THE IMPORTANCE OF MARTIAN ATMOSPHERE SAMPLE RETURN.Sérgio Sacani
The return of a sample of near-surface atmosphere from Mars would facilitate answers to several first-order science questions surrounding the formation and evolution of the planet. One of the important aspects of terrestrial planet formation in general is the role that primary atmospheres played in influencing the chemistry and structure of the planets and their antecedents. Studies of the martian atmosphere can be used to investigate the role of a primary atmosphere in its history. Atmosphere samples would also inform our understanding of the near-surface chemistry of the planet, and ultimately the prospects for life. High-precision isotopic analyses of constituent gases are needed to address these questions, requiring that the analyses are made on returned samples rather than in situ.

Cancer cell metabolism: special Reference to Lactate PathwayAADYARAJPANDEY1
Normal Cell Metabolism:
Cellular respiration describes the series of steps that cells use to break down sugar and other chemicals to get the energy we need to function.
Energy is stored in the bonds of glucose and when glucose is broken down, much of that energy is released.
Cell utilize energy in the form of ATP.
The first step of respiration is called glycolysis. In a series of steps, glycolysis breaks glucose into two smaller molecules - a chemical called pyruvate. A small amount of ATP is formed during this process.
Most healthy cells continue the breakdown in a second process, called the Kreb's cycle. The Kreb's cycle allows cells to “burn” the pyruvates made in glycolysis to get more ATP.
The last step in the breakdown of glucose is called oxidative phosphorylation (Ox-Phos).
It takes place in specialized cell structures called mitochondria. This process produces a large amount of ATP. Importantly, cells need oxygen to complete oxidative phosphorylation.
If a cell completes only glycolysis, only 2 molecules of ATP are made per glucose. However, if the cell completes the entire respiration process (glycolysis - Kreb's - oxidative phosphorylation), about 36 molecules of ATP are created, giving it much more energy to use.
IN CANCER CELL:
Unlike healthy cells that "burn" the entire molecule of sugar to capture a large amount of energy as ATP, cancer cells are wasteful.
Cancer cells only partially break down sugar molecules. They overuse the first step of respiration, glycolysis. They frequently do not complete the second step, oxidative phosphorylation.
This results in only 2 molecules of ATP per each glucose molecule instead of the 36 or so ATPs healthy cells gain. As a result, cancer cells need to use a lot more sugar molecules to get enough energy to survive.

introduction to WARBERG PHENOMENA:
WARBURG EFFECT Usually, cancer cells are highly glycolytic (glucose addiction) and take up more glucose than do normal cells from outside.
Otto Heinrich Warburg (; 8 October 1883 – 1 August 1970) In 1931 was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology for his "discovery of the nature and mode of action of the respiratory enzyme.
WARNBURG EFFECT : cancer cells under aerobic (well-oxygenated) conditions to metabolize glucose to lactate (aerobic glycolysis) is known as the Warburg effect. Warburg made the observation that tumor slices consume glucose and secrete lactate at a higher rate than normal tissues.
Gliese 12 b, a temperate Earth-sized planet at 12 parsecs discovered with TES...Sérgio Sacani
We report on the discovery of Gliese 12 b, the nearest transiting temperate, Earth-sized planet found to date. Gliese 12 is a
bright (V = 12.6 mag, K = 7.8 mag) metal-poor M4V star only 12.162 ± 0.005 pc away from the Solar system with one of the
lowest stellar activity levels known for M-dwarfs. A planet candidate was detected by TESS based on only 3 transits in sectors
42, 43, and 57, with an ambiguity in the orbital period due to observational gaps. We performed follow-up transit observations
with CHEOPS and ground-based photometry with MINERVA-Australis, SPECULOOS, and Purple Mountain Observatory,
as well as further TESS observations in sector 70. We statistically validate Gliese 12 b as a planet with an orbital period of
12.76144 ± 0.00006 d and a radius of 1.0 ± 0.1 R⊕, resulting in an equilibrium temperature of ∼315 K. Gliese 12 b has excellent
future prospects for precise mass measurement, which may inform how planetary internal structure is affected by the stellar
compositional environment. Gliese 12 b also represents one of the best targets to study whether Earth-like planets orbiting cool
stars can retain their atmospheres, a crucial step to advance our understanding of habitability on Earth and across the galaxy.

2. INTRODUCTION
• Origin of life is one of the most fascinating
problem in biology.
• Belief- life originated on the earth sometimes in
the remote past from non living substances.
• Life was eventual outcome of long process of
chemical evolution which took place during the
early stages of the earth’s history.
• Modern concept/ naturalistic theory- suggests
that there was no trace of life on this planet
about 2 billion years ago.
• Earth's origin – about 4.5 billion years ago.

4. PREBIOTIC EARTH
• Generally it is believed that the primitive forms of life must have
depended on some kind of energy.
• Agents responsible for catalytic reactions in the prebiotic Earth are-
sunlight, ultraviolet radiations, electric discharges and heat.
• Electric discharges catalyze reactions to synthesize molecules, a
phenomenon that has been experimentally proved.
• Sunlight can produce large amount of oxygen by splitting water and
producing hydrogen, which is capable of enhancing the reducing
power of the atmosphere.
• Haldane long ago suggested that in the prebiological Earth
ultraviolet radiations were responsible for generation of complex
molecules. As evidenced by the presence of formaldehyde and
glyoxal in mixtures irradiated with UV rays
5. Urey' postulates
Earth cloud contained hydrogen, methane, inert gases,
iron compounds, ammonia silicates
It was originally a very hot and homogeneous gaseous ball
Cooled down due to cosmic cooling effect and 3 zones
became differentiated- core, mantle, solid crust
Condition of primitive earth were not suitable for life as
free oxygen was not available in the earth’s atmosphere.
Oxygen was in combined state either in the form of
water or as oxides .
7. In the cooling process,
several physical
changes took place
as a result of these
changes oceans and
mountains were
formed
Chemical reactions
took place.
Water was first formed
was not in liquid state
but remained in
vaporized state for
long time.
Water vapour
accumulated and
became condensed to
form dense cloud
around the earth
Water vapour on

the form of rain drops
Rain drops reaching the
hot surface and

Origin of earth
and its atmosphere
8. How life originated on this earth?
1924, A I Oparin, put forth the concept that living matters
might have originated form the on-living or inorganic
matters.
Accepted by JBS Haldane and R Bentner
Oparin’s book ‘the origin of life’ in 1936, in which he
stated that in the first place carbon must have been
present in the atmosphere or primitive earth in the form
of hydrocarbon .
Hydrocarbons might have united with other compounds
to produce a variety of organic compounds –alcohols,
aldehydes, carboxylic acids.
Some of carboxylic acids reacted with ammonia to form
amino acids, the basic molecules of life.
10. Miller’s experiment
1953, Stanley Miller, a student of Dr. Urey performed one
such experiment in which he exposed a mixture of water
vapour, methane, ammonia and hydrogen gases to
continuous electric sparking for a week and at the end of
the experiment he found sugars, aldehydes, amino acids
such as glycine, alanine and number of more complex
organic compounds.
This experiment provided clue that such complex organic
compounds were formed in the atmosphere as a whole in
the remote past during continuous rains and lightning.
Cosmic radiations might have made the course of reactions
more easy by supplying tremendous energy required in the
process
12. Spherules (coacervates)
Coacervates
Dr. Calvin has estimated that molecular life must have evolved about 2 billion years before
the first living cell appeared.
Fox, Harada and Kendrick (1959) have reported that a large number of small uniform
microscopic elastic spherules with firm outline were formed when hot saturated solution of
proteinoides was cooled down.
These spherules behaved in many ways like bacteria and they clung together in chains as
one celled blue green algae sometimes do.
Although these spherules are not true cells, as they lack Deoxyribose nucleic acid (DNA)
and genes and they are simpler than any other contemporary life, yet they do possess
many cellular properties.

Simple anaerobic
organisms
distinguishable from
their surroundings
such as purple
bacteria came into
existence
Depletion of accumulated
organic substances from the
environment by anaerobic
micro organisms of the early
period with anaerobic
photosynthesis utilizing
visible light as the energy
source.
Intense competition was set
Combination of Porphyrins
and manganese-protein
complexes led to the
formation of chlorophyll and
then the photosynthesis of
typical green plant cells
became dominant
Liberation and
accumulation of free
oxygen into
atmosphere and
water led to the
disappearance of
anaerobic organisms
Oxygen itself became an evolutionary force which caused
extinction of most anaerobic microbes and at the same
time enabled achlorophyllous descendents of green cells
as animal cells to make use of energy potential of
biological oxidation of organic substances
15. CONCLUSION
The origin of life is a gradual event occurred
several years ago in the primitive earth about
4.5 billion years ago. It is suggested that it is
formed by inorganic components with the
absence of oxygen in primitive earth. Several
experiments, postulates have proved this fact.
