Introduction to Life Science
Life Science is a collection of
disciplines that is made up of
theories and principles that tackles
the structure and function of
living things starting from the
molecular level up to entire
ecosystems.
Life Science
▪ This field advances our or Biological
knowledge about the Science
anatomy, cell biology,
ecology, genetics,
molecular biology, and
physiology of all living
things on Earth
▪ They are made up of cells
▪ They grow and develop Characteristics
▪ They are capable of of Life
reproduction
▪ They exhibit metabolism
▪ Respond to their
environment
▪ They maintain homeostasis
▪ Any cell or organism that
possesses a clearly
defined nucleus. Types of
▪ Contains organelles Organisms
(Based on cell structure)
▪ Animals, plants, fungi, and EUKARYOTE
protists

▪ May be unicellular or
multicellular
▪ Any organisms that lacks a
distinct nucleus and other
organelles due to the Types of
absence of internal Organisms
membranes
(Based on cell structure)

▪ Bacteria and Archaea PROKARYOTE

▪ Unicellular
Have you been curious of when and where did
life possibly start on Earth?

▪ During the 1800s, geologists and the naturalists


found several forms of physical evidence that
confirmed that Earth is very old.
▪ this supported the idea that
the Earth changed over time
and some dry land today
was once covered by
oceans Evidences:
Fossils of
ancient sea life
on dry land far
from oceans

Trilobite fossil Fish fossil


▪ allowed the people to realize that
rock layers represent the order in
which rocks and fossils
appeared, thus they were able to
trace the history of Earth and life
on Earth
Evidences:
Many layers of
Rock
▪ that happened long ago
shaped much of the Earth’s
surface and supported the
idea of an older Earth
Evidences:
Indications that
volcanic eruptions,
earthquakes and
erosion
KEY POINTS:
▪ Eukaryortic cells evolved from prokaryotic cells
▪ The evolution of life is brought about the changes
in the environment which are linked to changes in
climate and geology.
▪ These environmental changes made the Earth’s
environment more suitable for a wider variety of
life forms.
KEY POINTS:
▪ The universe is about 4.6 billion years old. Life on earth,
probably began only between 3.5 and 4.0 billion years ago.
▪ Evidences from fossil records show the emergence of the
different life forms.
▪ The common ancestor of all life was prokaryotic.
▪ At present, the oldest cell microfossils (microscopic fossils) are
filaments from 3.5 billion-year-old rocks in Western Australia.
The filaments resemble chains of modern photosynthetic
bacteria and the rocks in which they occur are the remains of
ancient stromatolites.
