Cell Theory and Tour of Cell Sp'13
Big Idea Question: How did MASSIVE eukaryotic cells evolve from smaller ancestral prokaryotic cells?
CH4
CH4
Stromatolites
Four stages:
! Abiotic
synthesis of small organic molecules ! Joining these small molecules into macromolecule polymers. ! Packaging molecules into protobionts. ! Origin of self-replicating molecules that make inheritance possible.
!
Simple spheres of lipids may have been the first cell-like structures.
