Question: Using your understanding of the 4 macromolecules explain how Earth’s early atmosphere and the 4 molecules taught could

lead to the formation of life on Earth. Using your understanding of the 4 macromolecules justify the scientific theory of how life began on Earth. Include a timeline of which macromolecules formed first. Provide scientific evidence, chemical properties of the atoms found in the Earth’s early atmosphere, atoms found in the macromolecules, to support your timeline.

Answer:

Advanced forms of life existed on earth at least 3.55 billion years ago. In rocks of that age, fossilized imprints have been found of bacteria that look uncannily like cyanobacteria, the most highly evolved photosynthetic organisms present in the world today. Carbon deposits enriched in the lighter carbon-12 isotope over the heavier carbon-13 isotope-a sign of biological carbon assimilation-attest to an even older age. On the other hand, it is believed that our young planet, still in the throes of volcanic eruptions and battered by falling comets and asteroids, remained inhospitable to life for about half a billion years after its birth, together with the rest of the solar system, some 4.55 billion years ago. This leaves a window of perhaps 200-300 million years for the appearance of life on earth.

divine interventionThis duration was once considered too short for the emergence of something as complex as a living cell. Hence suggestions were made that germs of life may have come to earth from outer space with cometary dust or even, as proposed by Francis Crick of DNA double-helix fame, on a spaceship sent out by some distant civilization. No evidence in support of these proposals has yet been obtained. Meanwhile the reason for making them has largely disappeared. It is now generally agreed that if life arose spontaneously by natural processes-a necessary assumption if we wish to remain within the realm of science-it must have arisen fairly quickly, more in a matter of millennia or centuries, perhaps even less, than in millions of years. Even if life came from elsewhere, we would still have to account for its first development. Thus we might as well assume that life started on earth.

How this momentous event happened is still highly conjectural, though no longer purely speculative. The clues come from the earth, from outer space, from laboratory experiments, and, especially, from life itself. The history of life on earth is written in the cells and molecules of existing organisms. Thanks to the advances of cell biology, biochemistry and molecular biology, scientists are becoming increasingly adept at reading the text.

An important rule in this exercise is to reconstruct the earliest events in life's history without assuming they proceeded with the benefit of foresight. Every step must be accounted for in terms of antecedent and concomitant events. Each must stand on its own and cannot be viewed as a preparation for things to come. Any hint of teleology must be avoided.

Burka [1]

Answer:

Selective Optimization With Selection.

Explanation:

It is known that this theory was widely known from 1980s and was postulated by a man called Baltes. Baltes here argued that as individuals advance through life they are increasingly faced by age related deficits which place limits on their cognitive and behavioral resources. Tackling these limits placed on domains, individuals will begin to invest resources into particular styles and behaviors that are deemed adaptive to the new constraints.

Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

1st field: linguistic intelligence

2nd field: visual-spatial intelligence

3rd field: bodily-kinesthetic intelligence

Explanation:

There is a theory called multiple intelligence theory, which suggests that there are several types of intelligence differently proportionally distributed in every person. One of them is linguistic intelligence. Persons who possess it are extraordinary at using and understanding words, written or spoken. On the other hand, persons with visual-spatial intelligence show ability to memorize images, faces, details, also, they're aware of their surroundings and find it easy to orient in new and unknown spaces. Also, there is a bodily-kinesthetic intelligence. People who possess it have great motor abilities, especially fine movements, muscle coordination, body shape and strength which makes them great in using their body movements for expressing ideas, opinions, emotions.
