The reason scientists believe this is that there was basically no oxygen in the atmosphere at this time, which meant that cells needed to be anaerobic to survive,<span> going around the problem of no oxygen in the atmosphere.

Hope this helps.</span>

The first cells had to be anaerobic because most of the oxygen in the atmosphere was produced by living organisms. The first organisms couldn’t use oxygen as an electron acceptor because there wasn’t enough of it to use. Only after later organisms had created oxygen could organisms dependent on oxygen evolve. I don’t know of any scientists who thinks the first cells were heterotrophs. All the ones I know of believe they were chemolithic autotrophs. If you stop and think about it for even a second you will see that the first cells couldn’t have been heterotrophs. By definition heterotrophs rely on eating other living things to survive. How could the very first living thing ever to exist have survived by eating other living things? It makes no sense. The first cell can’t have made a living by eating other cells because there were no other cells to eat. It couldn’t be a heterotroph by definition.

Write a brief summary of the process of mitosis below.
fomenos
FULL ANSWER<span>The five main phases of mitosis are prophase, prometaphase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase. Some mitosis timelines include interphase, where the cell begins preparing to undergo mitosis. Prophase is the official start of mitosis, and during this step duplicated DNA strands condense into a more compact form and take on the traditional X shape of chromosomes.During prometaphase, the membrane around the cell's nucleus dissolves so that the chromosomes can move into place at the center of the cell. Spindle fibers align the chromosomes in the center of the nucleus during metaphase. This phase is essential to the health of the daughter cells, since it lines the chromosomes up evenly so they can be easily split in the next phase.Anaphase is the phase where two different cells start truly forming. The chromosomes are pulled apart, and half of each chromosome is pulled to separate ends of the cell, creating two bundles of chromosomes.In telophase, these bundles of chromosomes are enclosed in a new nuclear membrane. Once safely enclosed, the chromosomes break up again and lose their compact look. Finally, in cytokinesis the two sides break apart to create two new identical daughter cells.</span>
