Q

Less Oxygen in the early Life

A

Oxygen tends to breaking down complex molecules to the simpler one; the existence (a lot) of oxygen in the early life is impossible due to the process of polymerization.

25
Microspheres
The cell like structure formed by heating-cooling protenoid Cell-like basic characters: - coccus shape - growing - generating bud - forming boundary (selective permeable) Cell unlike characters: - NO genetic material - CANNOT produce it's own energy
26
The First Cell
the result of natural selection causing some microspheres that can survive to form their own genetic materials and energy.
27
Heterotrophs
Organisms that unable to produce it's energy (no photosynthesis)
28
Autotrophs
The organism that can produce its own energy ( able to do photosynthesis)
29
Chemoautotrophs
The early autotrophic organisms that can produce the energy by doing chemical activity e.g. archaebacteria (synthesising carbohydrates using carbon dioxide and water by the assistance of H2O) in the extreme condition (anaerobic).
30
Photoautotrophs
The organism that able to generate energy from photosynthesis e.g. cyanobacteria (synthesising carbohydrates using carbon dioxide and water). The production of ATP is so much better than chemoautotrophs organisms.
31
Ozon Formation
Formed by the more activities of cyanobacteria generating more oxygen in the atmosphere, so that the oxygen molecules binding together with oxygen atom to form ozon layer protecting the next level organism from UV radiation.
32
Prokaryotic
The early organism that lack of nucleus and membrane bounded organelles.
33
Autogenous evolution hypothesis
The forming of the first prokaryotic organism by the development of its simple cell generating nuclear membrane, ER, and endomembrane system.
34
Endosymbiosis Hypothesis
The further formation from autogenous hypothesis (nuclear membrane, ER, endomembrane system) The origin of mitochondria and chloroplast: 1. mitochondria from the penetration of aerobic photobacteria > ATP producer for animals 2. chloroplast from the penetration of photoautropic bacteria > ATP producer for plants leading to the early eukaryotic organism.
35
Eukaryotic
The organism that has nucleus
36
Multicellular organisms
Organism such as plants and animals that enable to: - gather more foods - gain cell stability - produce enzymes to digest more foods - promoting tissue level - growing bigger
37
Plants
Unique multicellular organism that has cell wall, chloroplast, and large central vacuole (as the factors differentiating it with animals cell)
38
Animals
Unique multicellular organism that has centrioles​, small vacuoles, and cilia or flagella (as the factors differentiating it with plants cell)
39
Plasmodial Hypothesis | Hadzi & Hudson
Platyhelminthes-like animals forming of life
40
Planula Hypothesis
Cnidarian life process
41
Nonvascular plants
The early generation of plants that has lack of vascular tissues for the transportation of water and nutrients. ``` Characters: - no vascular tissue - unreal roots and leaves - has chloroplast - grouping to reduce gravitational effects - small size as it is lack of vascular tissues - living in wet or rich water areas - alternation of generation - gametophyte dominant - ```
42
Charophyta
Charopyta > totally live in water
43
Bryophyte | Seedless Non Vascular Plants
Seedless Non Vascular Plants has three kinds: - mosses - liverwort - hornwort with characters: - alternation of generation - sporophytes dominant, living depends on the gametophyte - depends on water for spora-flagella distribution - unreal root and leaves due to lack of vascular tissue - small size and grouping to prevent gravity effects. - development of cuticles and stoma to prevent water loss.
44
Pteridophyte | Seedless Vascular Plants
Seedless Vascular Plants First plant to develop vascular tissue; growing taller and stronger Developing the true leaves making the energy production better Sporophyte dominant, with Independency of gametophyte and sporophytes stages Living in dryer but wet areas (depends on water for spora spreading medium) Lignin development for support transportation Producing hormones​ e.g. auxin (enlargement) & cytokinin (development)
45
Gymnosperms | Fruitless Vascular Plant
Kinds: - ginkgo - conifers - cycad - gnetum Characters: - uncoated seeds (fruitless) - Sporophyte dominant - Cones instead of flowers - Both air and pollinators assistance in spreading sperms - Heterosporous
46
Seed
Structure: seed coat(protection) + endosperm (food storage) +embryo ( next generation) Function: - source of foods for animals and humans
47
Pollination
The process of sperm (pollen) entering the female reproductive part by the help of animals e.g insects, birds (pollinators)
48
Heterosporous​
The spores found in gymnosperms consist of "2 haploid cells" 1 for fertilization 1 for disintegration
49
Angiosperms | Fruit Vascular Plant
- flowers - fruit ( seed + pericarp (mature ovary carpel) - double fertilization - large leaves - more developed vascular tissues
50
Seed Dispersal
The ability of seed to be distributed further places and longer duration due to the development of fruit
51
Flower
The sexual part of angiosperms plants male: anther and filament female: stigma, style, and ovary (ovule inside)
52
Double Fertilization
The process of fertilization in angiosperms plants 3 microspore : 1 breakdown microphyl (disappear) Double fertilization: 1 fussion with polar nuclei or antipodal (n+2n = 3n) > endosperm 1 fussion with nucleus (n+n= 2n) > zygot> embryo
53
Fruit
Fruit contains of: • seed : embryo, endosperm, seed coat • fruit : growing from mature ovary carpel becoming pericarp (endocarp, mesocarp, exocarp) Function: • seed dispersal • foods
54
Vertebrate (Jawed Fish)
* has vertebrae * biting than filter feeding * development of cranium * development of gill arch (becoming jaw mandibular hyomandibular) * spiracles development from the gill slit for gas exchange
55
Chordate | Jawless Fish
``` the ancestor of vertebrate, having: • pharyngeal fill shit : filter feeding organs • notochord : supporting rod • hollow dorsal nerve cord : becoming brains and spinal cord • tail ```
56
Amphibians | Living in Water and Land
* No gills * Reducted and lost of operculum * waterloss protection by slimy (mucous gland) and thick skin * Evolve Stapes * depends on water for the egg layering.
57
Reptiles
* keratin (prevent water loss and UV protection) * breath through skin * evolved lungs * cold blood animals
58
Birds
* evolve feathers * bigger lungs * larger heart * slim body for fly * know how to culture (making nest)
59
Primates
Arboreal adaptation Graping hands Large brains​ Better communication
60
Arboreal Adaptation
Living mostly in the trees
61
Ape
The nearest relatives of human * good communication * no tail * blood group * metabolism * muscular systems
62
Human Ancestors
Bipedalism | Hominid
63
Homo sapiens​
Succession of Homo erectus Loves drawing Camp fire Hunting
