🌍 3. The beginning of life on Earth

How did life begin on Earth?
Billions of years ago, in conditions completely different from the world we know today, the first life forms appeared.
In this exhibition we explore the processes that led to the formation of life – from inanimate matter to the first cells.

🧬 The moment when life begins

This is one of the most important moments in history:
👉 The transition from inanimate matter → to life
After the universe was created and organized,
the conditions are first created for:
🌱 Life

🌋 Ancient Earth

About 4.5 billion years ago:
🔥 A hot, volcanic world
☄️ Asteroid impacts
🌫️ A completely different atmosphere
Next:
🌊 Oceans formed
🌡️ Temperature stabilized
👉 Conditions for life were created

🧫 The building blocks of life

In the display you can see:
🔹 Amino acids
🔹 Nucleotides
👉 The building blocks of life
They could have formed:
🌍 On Earth
☄️ Or come from meteorites

The first 5 cells

🧬 The first cells

Next:
🧫 Primary cells formed
✔ Very simple
❌ No nucleus
❌ No complex structures
👉 But they started all life

🌡️ Goldilocks Conditions

For life to form, it needs to be:
🔥 Not too hot
❄️ Not too cold
👉 Just in the right range
🌊 Liquid water = critical condition for life

7 ⚡ Energy sources

⚡ Energy sources

Life needs energy:
☀️ Solar radiation
🌋 Volcanic activity
⚗️ Chemical reactions
👉 These allowed the development of the first systems

🌱 becomes living world
And hence begins:
🧬 Evolution
