What to Focus On

  • Earth formed ~5 billion years ago.
  • Early atmosphere: CH₄, NH₃, H₂, H₂O — no free oxygen.
  • Organic molecules formed in water under energy sources like lightning and UV rays.
  • Four stages: organic molecules → macromolecules → coacervates → self-replicating systems.
  • Coacervates were early cell-like structures with metabolism.
  • First cells were heterotrophs; photosynthesis evolved later, changing Earth's atmosphere.
  • Fossils provide direct evidence of past life and transitional forms.
  • Embryo development shows common ancestry.
  • Homologous organs suggest divergent evolution; analogous organs show convergent evolution.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Life originated directly from non-living matter through spontaneous generation, like maggots from meat.

Evolution means organisms change during their lifetime and pass those changes to offspring.

Homologous organs have the same function, so they must be similar in structure.
