The origin of life:
1.Abiotic (nonliving) synthesis of small organic molecules
2.Joining these monomers into polymers
3.Origin of self-replicating molecules
4.Packaging into “probionts” (droplets with membranes).

Prokaryotes
Most have cell walls made of peptidoglycan
Many have polysaccharide capsule
Many have sticky fimbriae and pili
About half move with flagella
Some have specialized membranes
DNA in one big loop plus plasmids.

Prokaryotes
Photoautotrophs use sunlight
Chemoautotrophs use inorganic fuels
Heterotrophs consume carbon.
![Page 22: Chapter 26 Early Earth and the Origin of Life. Major events in earth’s history:](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081503/5697bfeb1a28abf838cb7bcf/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Oxygen
Aerobe uses oxygen
Anaerobe does not use oxygen
Obligate aerobes cannot grow without O2
Obligate anaerobes are poisoned by O2
Facultative anaerobes use O2 when it’s available but can also do fermentation.

Nitrogen
Prokaryotes are able to turn N2 into NH3 in a process called nitrogen fixation.

Archaeabacteria
Analysis of rRNA shows that some bacteria are more closely related to eukaryotes and belong in a domain of their own.
Extremophiles (thermophiles and halophiles)
Methanogens.
