1、by Emilyby EmilyThe origin of LIFEthe big bang theoryThe story of lifes origins begins with the formation of the earth. The sequence of events that gave rise to our planet began, in turn, with the cosmic explosion physicists call the Big Bang. the solar systemThe sunsun at the center of our solar sy
2、stem condensed from a cloud of primordial matter roughly 5 billion years ago; the planets, including the earth,condensed about4.6 billion years ago. Basic physical features of Earth that may have made the emergence of life possible include the planets size, temperature, composition, and distance fro

Current research suggests that likely sites for this polymerization （高分子聚合物）were clay or rock surfaces.Evidence suggests that RNA, which can form spontaneously under conditions mimicking those of the early earth, was the first informational molecule.

5、irst autotrophs produced their own nutrients and released O2-a metabolic by- product that had a crucial impact on later life forms. The resulting ozone layer in the earths atmosphere reduced the penetration of ultraviolet light. 最早的自养生物自己生产营养物质并 释放氧气，这个新陈代谢副产物对后 期生命的形成有一个深远的影响。地 球上大气中臭氧层的出现减少了紫外 线的穿
6、透力。The oldest fossils that may represent living cells are found in rocks that are about 3.5 billion years old. The cells were probably anaerobic heterotrophs, with autotrophs arising much later. 能说明活细胞存在的最古老的化石大约有35 亿年了。最早出现的细胞可能是厌氧异养生 物，自养生物很久后才出现。As a result, cells would survive in shallow water a

The increasing quantity of atmospheric oxygen also permitted the evolution of aerobic cells and cellular respiration, which in turn signaled the beginning of the global carbon cycle. 结果，细胞就能够在浅水区和陆地 上生存了。大气中氧气含量的增加 使得需氧细胞进化并产生细胞呼吸 ，这标志着全球碳循环的开始。The evolutional history of life
