The animals body plans that emerged from the Cambrian Explosion were multi-cellular and significantly larger than animals that predated the Cambrian. This required the ability to use the process of aerobic respiration to more efficiently break down food molecules. What are two milestones that occurred in the Eon(s) that predated the Cambrian explosion that allowed for this more efficient form of energy production? (List both the milestone and the Eon in which it occurred)
Enzymes are proteins, and therefore are structurally linked to DNA sequences. How could natural selection alter the metabolism of an organism?

- Chemiosmosis is a process that drives the creation of ATP. This process requires the use of specific enzymes which were unlikely to have existed on early Earth. A. What has this new study uncovered in relation to ATP on early Earth? B. How do scientists postulate that the phosphorus on early Earth was created? C. Explain why this study is important?arrow_forwardBesides carboxylation, the Calvin Cycle enzyme rubisco can also react with O2 (e.g. oxygenation). The wasteful oxygenation reaction of rubisco is explained by the enzyme developing at time when there was very little O2 in the atmosphere. Since it was developed, why hasn’t rubisco evolved to get rid of the oxygenation reaction? A. Mutations that decrease the affinity of rubisco for O2 probably also decrease the enzyme’s ability to bind CO2. B. Evolution takes time; and since rubisco is found only in eukaryotes, it evolved recently. C. Since it still generates one molecule of 3-phosphoglycerate (PGA), the oxygenation reaction is actually not that wasteful. D. Because in the past few million years the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere has risen to be much greater than the concentration of O2.arrow_forwardPlace 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.arrow_forward

A) water is oxidized B) the PH of the intermembrane space decreases C) they will no longer be able to perform anaerobic respiration #2) A child is born with a rare disease in which mitochondria are missing from skeletal muscle cells. However, the muscles still function. Phisicans find what? A) the muscles contain large amounts of carbon dioxide following even mild physical exercise B) the muscle cells cannot split glucose to pyruvate C) the muscles require extremly high levels of oxygen to function #3) Bacteria that are unable to survive in the presence of oxygen are called? A) obligate anaerobes B) aerotolerant anaerobes C) facultative anaerobes #4) A friend tells you that he is going on a low-carb diet to lose weight because he thinks that carbs contain more energy than fats or protein.
