    A meteorite that formed Meteor Crater in Arizona is called Canyon Diablo. Life on Earth began at least 3.5 billion years ago based on fossil evidence. The Hadean Eon between 4.6-4 billion years ago is named after Hades due to the harsh conditions. Stromatolites are rocks formed by cyanobacteria. The first cells were simple prokaryotes which produced oxygen through photosynthesis, developing an oxygen-rich atmosphere and allowing multicellular life. Evidence comes from dating and fossils. The Miller-Urey experiment demonstrated how organic molecules could form from inorganic ones. Jeffrey Bada examined the experiment vials and found old amino acids. All life shares DNA, RNA, proteins, ATP

    1. What is “Canyon Diablo”?


    - A meteorite refers to the numerous asteroid fragments that formed Meteor Crater.
    2. When did life start?
    - Life on Earth began at least 3.5 billion years ago, based on the age of the oldest rocks
    containing fossil evidence of life on Earth.
    3. The name Hadean era was named after and why?
    - The Hadean Eon occurred between 4.6 and 4 billion years ago. It is named after the
    mythological Hades, a reference to the likely conditions of the time.
    4. What is a stromatolite?
    - is a rock formed by the sediment-binding and/or carbonate-secreting activity of
    cyanobacteria, also known as blue green algae and/or bacteria.
    5. What type of cell came first?
    - simple prokaryotic forms.
    6. Once we had photosynthesis what was pumped into the environment?
    - Oxygen
    7. What type of atmosphere started developing?
    - An oxygen-rich atmosphere
    8. Eukaryotic like then ______________________ life.
    - Multicellular
    9. Where does the evidence come from to know all this material?
    - Relative/absolute dating and fossils
    10. Describe/Summarize the experiment that Miller-Urey did:
    - demonstrated that inorganic molecules could form organic molecules but not directly life.
    11. What did Jeffrey Bada look at and what did he find?
    - He examined the old Milley/Urey experiment vials and discovered the "old" amino
    acids.
    12. Pause the video, what characteristics are shared by all life on our planet?
    - DNA, RNA intermediates, proteins, ATP, a lipid membrane and cell division.
    13. What is the name of the common ancestor that has all of these characteristics?
    - LUA (Last Universal Ancestor) or LUCA (Last Common Universal Ancestor)
    14. What % of our DNA is shared with a banana?
    - 50%
    15. Statistically, what % would be shared if it was just random chance?
    - 25%
    16. What is happening to the universe?
    - It is moving into an entropy state (it is becoming less and less organized)
    17. To life?
    - It is becoming increasingly organized.
    18. What separates us from all the other organisms on the planet?
    - Culture
