Summary Introduction

To describe: One possible hypothesis for the evolution of metabolism.

Introduction: The energy metabolism refers to a process of producing energy (ATP) from nutrients, including anaerobic respiration, aerobic respiration, as well as amino acid and fatty acid metabolism. The metabolism comprises a series of interconnected pathways and it can function in the absence or presence of oxygen.

Fossils of a microscopic organism are found in rocks determined to be from a past era of time. Identify TWO types of evidence that would help answer the question of whether the organism was able to undergo aerobic cellular respiration.
Place the five metabolic types in the probable order of their evolution: oxygenic photosynthesis, aerobic metabolisms, anaerobic chemolithoautotrophy, anaerobic chemorganoheterotrophy, anoxygenic photosynthesis. You are expected to justify your answers by identifying the origins of the energy, the carbon used and the redox couples (electron donors and acceptors). Describe the environmental conditions that probably led to the evolution of the next metabolism.
Which of the following statements about the evolution of life on Earth, from simple prokaryote-like cells to multicellular eukaryotic organisms, is true? By resulting in such diversity and complexity of life, it is an exception to the second law of thermodynamics. It has occurred in accordance with the laws of thermodynamics and resulted in a substantial increase in the total energy in the universe. It has occurred in accordance with the laws of thermodynamics and resulted in a substantial decrease in the entropy of the planet. It has occurred in accordance with the laws of thermodynamics and resulted in a substantial increase in the entropy of the planet.
