Question

Why Do many scientist think that prokaryotes are similar to the first organisms on the earth?

Answer 1

Answer:

The atmosphere had no oxygen it thereby created an environment where only anaerobic organisms could exist. They couldn't make there own food due to lake of oxygen in the atmosphere

Explanation: During the archaea period 3.4 billion years ago after amino acids develop the first living cells the prokaryotes with no nuclei , simple design and no organelles. According to Miller Urey and Sagan these cells were anaerobic as no oxygen was present in atmosphere and they were heterotrophs using fermentation as the process to obtain energy from the molecules formed by the heat and light in early atmosphere this is why these organisms are said to be anaerobic and heterotrophs

Answer 2

Explanation:

Between prokaryotes and eukaryotes, which type of cells are believed to have evolved first? Scientists have concluded that prokaryote life forms preceded the more complex eukaryotes. All organisms on Earth are classified into two basic cell types. Kary means nucleus.
