 OBJECTIVES
• Describe how unifying themes (e.g., structure and
function, evolution, and ecosystems) in the study of
life show the connections among living things and
how they interact with each other and with their
environment.

• Explain the evolving concept of life based on

emerging pieces of evidence.
• Appreciate the essence of evolution.
 INTRODUCTION
TO LIFE SCIENCE
WHERE DO YOU
THINK LIFE
ORIGINATED?
What comes first?
Egg or Chicken.
The early earth is said
to be violent because of
the meteorites and
volcanic eruptions. With
this condition, zircon
crystal was formed.
 Life on Earth
initially began with
prokaryotes,
discovered in
sedimentary rock
formations called
stromatolites.
Stromatolites:  the oldest fossils on earth.
 The first
photosynthetic
organism thrived the
earth which is blue
green algae called
cyanobacteria.
 Cynobacteria: They live in the water,
and can manufacture their own food.
Because they are bacteria, they are quite
small and usually unicellular, though
they often grow in colonies large enough
to see.
Appearance of the first eukaryotes and the influx
of multicellular organisms occurred 1.2 billion
years ago.

The first eukaryotic cells evolved from a

symbiotic relationship between two or more
prokaryotic cells. Smaller prokaryotic cells were
engulfed by (or invaded) larger prokaryotic cells.
 Protists most
likely evolved
from
prokaryotic
cells. Oldest
Eukaryotes.
The Paleozoic era when The Mesozoic era-the
the trilobites and
age of reptiles that has
cephalopods became
a span of 251 to 65.5
dominant in the ocean
MYA divided into
particularly during the
Triassic, Jurassic and
Cambrian and
Ordovician Cretaceous period.
 Era’s are separated The Mesozoic era-the
using different events age of reptiles that has a
such as, the emergence span of 251 to 65.5
of certain species, MYA divided into
evolution, and Triassic, Jurassic and
Extinction. Cretaceous period.
 The Cenozoic era-
recent life and based on
paleontological
evidence. Homo erectus
have evolved.
