How Life Evolved in Hydrothermal Vents Deep Under the Sea: 10 Steps to the First Cells

How life evolves: 10 steps of the first cell Our oldest ancestor is a proton-driven rock. We may not be able to prove how life evolved definitely. But one of the many explanations presented is that - life evolved at the hydrothermal vent under the deep sea. Although it is not a super black smoker, it is a more calm business called alkaline hot water vent. This theory can explain the most strange features in life and the evidence to support it is increasing. For example, early this year, laboratory experiments confirmed that the conditions of several pores in the vent may result in high concentration polymers.

William Martin and Michael Russell propose the theory that life may have started in deep-sea vents, alkaline hydrothermal vents, submarine hydrothermal vents. Temperature gradient between sulfide-rich hydrothermal fluid and iron (II) -containing sea water Natural three-dimensional regions observed in metal sulfide deposits at fossil penetration sites indicate that these inorganic regions are cells Respectively. Precursors are found in the walls and membranes of free-living prokaryotes and form a continuous chemical energy source derived from oxidation-reduction reactions in which electron donors (molecular hydrogen) react with electron acceptors (carbon dioxide) . Theory These are very exothermic reactions

Located at the bottom of the deep sea, the hydrothermal vents face a sudden and new threat: deep sea mining. The hydrothermal vent is an important mineral origin sediment and Canadian Nautilus Minerals will be the first place to utilize deep sea hydrothermal vents on the coast of New Guinea, in this case copper, in 2013. (10/23/2011) Imagine a single-celled creature of mango size. This is not science fiction, but the fact that scientists built dozens of huge single-celled creatures in a deep sea about 4 inches (10 cm). However, recent exploration of the Mariana trench reveals the deepest record of single cell beasts called exogenous spores.

The first discovery in 1977 is that the hydrothermal vent community in the deep sea was vibrant. Prior to this, it was thought that few species could survive near the deep ocean, near any kind of volcanic activity and the resultant hot water. But in 1977 geologists working near the Galapagos encountered a 6 - foot high worm and a huge community of other new species, all of them near the hot - water inlet. Sea water found by cracks in the ocean floor is heated by volcanic activity, the density lowers and rises. When this water comes in contact with newly solidified rocks, many minerals will elute from the new rock. In many ventilated areas, super hot water rises rapidly from the seabed and has many minerals that look black. As it rises from the ocean floor, some minerals settle down and form a "chimney" around the drainage channel. These chimneys can grow to a height of 40 feet while releasing rich hot water of black minerals
