i missed school because i was out sick :( i need help on this paper though we learned a lot about the food web andfood chains but i missed out. can you help me put this in order?
starting from 5 billion years ago...to today
which on goes first?
earth formed
first birds
first monkeys
first land plants
atmosphere and oceans
first bacteria first dinosaurs
first primates
first soft-bodied animals (jellyfish)
first animals with a backbone
first amphibians
first animals with hard shell
first organisms with many cells (multicellular algae)
first cell with a nucleus (eukaryotes)
first reptiles
first land animals (insects)
first flowering plants
mass extinction of many oragnisms including dinosaurs
oxygen begins to build up in the atmosphere
thanks :)
Who is bored and can help me with this timeline?
Key: BYA = billions of years ago
MYA = millions of years ago
earth formed ~ 4.6 BYA
1st birds ~ 213 MYA
1st monkeys aka mammals ~213 MYA
1st land plants ~438 MYA
atmosphere %26amp; oceans form ~4.2 BYA
1st bacteria ~3.8-2.5 BYA (cyanobacteria oldest ~3.5 BYA)
1st dinosaurs ~248 MYA
1st primates (see monkeys above)
1st soft-bodied animals (not sure but maybe ~505 MYA when invertebrates were dominant)
1st backboned animals - no idea but guessing ~590 MYA
1st amphibians ~408 MYA
1st hard shells - I think ~ 540-250 MYA
1st multicelluar organisms - The Ediacara Fauna~ 700-540 MYA
1st eukaryotes ~1.8 BYA
1st reptiles ~320 MYA
1st insects ~ (same as terrestrial plants) ~439-408 MYA
1st flowering plants ~144 MYA
O2 starts building in the atmosphere ~ 3.5 BYA because oxygen was a waste product of photosynthetic organisms like cyanobacteria
There were many mass extinctions:
--- "Cambrian Explosion" in the Cambrian period (540-250 MYA)
--- mass extinction at the end of the Ordivician period (495-439 MYA) where 75% of all animals went extinct
--- Devonian period (439-408 MYA) when 75% of all marine life went extinct
--- Permian period (290-250 MYA) when 96% of all species went extinct due to volcanic eruptions and a meteor strike
--- And the most popular extinction at the end of the Cretaceous period (144-65 MYA), caused by a meteor
PHEW!
I just had to memorize all this stuff a few weeks ago so I still have all the notes. I understand your pain.
Reply:earth formed then oxygen begins to build up in the atmosphere
P.S im totally guessing but it makes sense to me since no life can exist without oxygen
