Mapa mental sobre El origen de las especies
N76 [4]

El origen de las especies, cuya primera edición apareció en 1859, es el libro más conocido de El biólogo británico Charles Darwin. En el libro, Darwin expone su teoría de la evolución. Afirma que toda la vida en la Tierra tiene un ancestro común y que la selección natural es el mecanismo principal para la evolución de las especies.

El libro está considerado como una de las obras científicas más importantes de la historia. Causó revuelo en el momento de su publicación porque atribuyó la riqueza de la forma de vida en la Tierra a un proceso mecánico más que a una inteligencia sobrenatural. Es cierto que otros habían sugerido previamente que podría haber cosas como la evolución o la selección natural, pero "El origen de las especies" es el primer trabajo que extrae la mayor consecuencia de estos conceptos.

Insides chloroplasts, there are  found structures called thylakoids also known as grana or stroma. It is these thylakoids that contain chlorophyll, the green pigment that helps capture light energy from the sun which provides the fuel to run the first stage of photosynthesis.
