Cornell Notes

Topic/Objective:

Name: Hugo Bustamante

Class/Period: P5

The general names of what we learned

Date:10/4/15

Essential Question: To investigate how Earth and its inhabitants have changed over time
Questions:
How many years
ago did mammals
start to develop?
Who were the first
living organisms?
When did oxygen start to
come?
What were the first
conditions on
earth?
What is a species?

Notes:
What is Life?
-First we have to define Life
-Organized as cells
-Respond to stimuli
-Regulate internal processes
-Homeostasis
-Use energy to grow
-Metabalism
-Develop
-Change & mature within lifetime
-Reproduce
-Heredity
-DNA/RNA
-Adaptation & evolution
-Special Creation
-Was life created by a supernatural or driven force? (Not
Testable)
-Estraterrastrial Orgin
-Was the orginal source of organic (carbon) materials comets &
meteorites striking early earth? (Testable)
-Spontaneous Abiotic Orgin
-Did life evolve spontaneously from inorganic molecules?
-Bacteria
-Archaea
-Extremophiles = Live in extreme env.
-methanogens
-halogens
-thermophiles
-Eukarya
-eukaryotes
-protists
-fungi
-plants & animals

Summary: What I learned from this week is that how much little the time human started to develop. All the other
parts of the time had a big gap. 4 bya the earth developed and had some different conditions. They all had to do
with oxygen. Oxygen played a big factor for things to develop. So this week was more about of development.

Questions:

Notes:
-Kingdom Bacteria
-Kingdom Archaebacteria
-Kingdom Protista
-Kingdom Plantae
-Kingdom Animallea
Conditions on Early Earth
-Atmosphere full of gases
-Water vapor(H2O)
-Lots of available H
-No free oxygen
-Energy source
-Lightning, UV radiation, volcanic
Key Events in Origin of Life
-Key events in evolutionary history of life on Earth
-3.5 to 4 bya
-Prokaryotes: first living organisms
Oxygen Atmosphere
-Oxygen begins to accumulate 2.7 bya
-oxidizing atmosphere
-evidence in banded iron in rocks=rusting
-Photosynthetic bacteria (blue- green alge)
First Eukaryotes
-Development of internal membrance
-Endosymbiosis
-Evolution of eukaryotes
-Orgin of mitochondria
-Engulfed aerobic bacteria, but did not digest them
-Mutually benetical relationship
Cambrian Explosion
-Diversification of Animals
-Early Mammal Evolution
-125 mya mammals began to radiate out and fill inches
-Gradualism: evolutionary change is slow, gradual, and continuous
-Punctuated Equilibrium: A theory of the time frame required for
evolution that assumes that evolutionary change occurs in burts
with long periods of relative stability
-Species: A group of living organisms consisting of similar
individuals capable of exchanging genes or interbreeding
-Extinction: Occurs when the environment changes and the
adaptive characteristics of a species of a species are insufficient to
allow its survival
