Cell Evolution refers to the process by which the earliest forms of life on Earth evolved and diversified into the complex cellular structures seen in modern organisms. This encompasses the transition from simple molecules to protocells, the development of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, and the emergence of multicellular organisms. 1. Abiogenesis and the Origin of Life (4.0 - 3.5 billion years ago) Abiogenesis: This is the first process in Cell Evolution by which life arose naturally from non-living matter on the early Earth. It likely involved the formation of simple organic molecules in a primordial soup or deep-sea hydrothermal vents. Protocells: Simple, membrane-bound structures could have formed through the spontaneous assembly of lipids and other organic molecules. Consequently, these protocells […] READ MORE...
