Document Summary
Earth is ~ 4. 6 billion years old and lies within the habitable zone around the sun. (this is the position were heat from the sun allows water to exist in liquid state) *liquid water is the fundamental prerequisite for the development of life* In order to be considered alive it must have the 7 characteristics: This characteristics are emergent (there is a hierarchy of interactions where simpler things do not have the properties found in higher levels) Theory of evolution through natural selection (single common ancestor) Charles darwin (natural selection, 1859) created a unifying framework. Reproduction with potential for errors, errors lead to evolution. Cell theory: cells come from pre-existing cells, all organisms are composed by it. System of information transfer (dna, rna, protein) system of protein assembly using ribosomes and mrna, trna, Taxonomy (classification of life) developed by linnaeus in 1735. Classifications are made on the basis of share features (structure/function)
