3. If there was a sudden drop in temperature after the evolution of the first living cells, predict how that might have affected the changes in the atmosphere and the evolution of cyanobacteria and other autotrophs. Explain your answer.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Give us your ideas.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I was trying to figure this out for a long time, but im still confused partly because I dont understand english that well. I'm from China... :P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Your english is pretty good.

This is his cousin on right now. Hi.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I translate for him... Lol. He's yelling at me to get back on topic. Any ideas?

OpenStudy (bioepic):

This would have affected the rate of oxygen production. This is because the cynobacteria and other autotrophs would have to evolve, and they most probably would have died. Therefore, they would not be there to produce oxygen, and our atmosphere would have had a higher concentration of nitrogen and other gases. The earth's atmosphere would resemble that of mars, and we would not exist today (and if we did, we would most likely be photosynthetic) :P .

OpenStudy (bioepic):

Medal/Fan Pls? :) *Makes a cute face and aks nicely*

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Lol.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How would evolution have to do with their death?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh wait I get it now. Nvm.

OpenStudy (bioepic):

Thanks for the medal!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

np. And thanks for the help

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Enjoy it while you can.

OpenStudy (bioepic):

No problem! @jedi_trooper ??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

your medal I mean.

OpenStudy (bioepic):

Oh lol. You are just as bad as @Praetorian.10 He is a student at Oxford, and i'm a super genius synthetic biology nerd that's 14, but we are eternal rivals to get medals.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol, I don't think I can take Praetorian's bio seriously.

OpenStudy (bioepic):

Meh, whatever. He acts dumb but is really smart. Did you read my testimonial for him? @jedi_trooper

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol.

OpenStudy (praetorian.10):

Perchance you should be as quick to trust as you are to judge.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A horrible policy to live by, unfortunately.

OpenStudy (praetorian.10):

Only if you are too insecure to trust in your own ability to make the best out of whatever situation arises.
