 The Mysterious Origin of Life on Earth

	Capture critical information and record it here
	Billions of years ago. A simple organic compounds that form into a complex one. They can manage to reproduce.
	Its was the very first life on earth
	It has helped many species that are alive on earth today.
	The Earth was very suitable for the species that lived before us.
	These elements are essential to our life • Hydrogen • Carbon Dioxide • Methane • Nitrogen • Phosphate • Ammonia
	These elements react with each other so they need liquid Salphant / Water / H20.
	But these elements also need a massive source of energy.
	AUTOTROPH & HETEROTROPH. AUTOTROPH - Makes it own energy to survive HETEROTROPH - Eats other living organisms to gain energy.
	Places on land and surfaces close to the ocean have the advantage of the sunlight.
	There are hydrothermal vents at the bottom of the ocean that are kilometres under the water
	A hydrothermal vent is a hole in the ground where the water is able to go inside, where there are chambers of magma. Then it bursts out in hot water with minerals and chemicals.
	L - last   U - universal   C - common   A - ancestor
	Scientists found genes, that are usually found in species.
	LUCA lived in a hot oxygen-free place.
	There are 2 kinds of hydrothermal vents black smokers and white smokers. Each of them gives different traits.
	The top choice for the cradle of life is white smokers because black smokers were too hot for LUCA.
	It is strongly full of Alkaline and is lacking Carbon Dioxide.
	The black smokers had help with the carbon dioxide, that gave life to species on the lost city.
	The life on earth may have been given components to support the first organisms. That has evolved into life on Earth today.
