plant cells
True. The ancestor of all eukaryotic cells is thought to have evolved approximately 2 billion years ago through a process of endosymbiosis, where prokaryotic cells engulfed other prokaryotic cells, leading to the formation of more complex eukaryotic cells.
yes and no
Scientists believe that eukaryotic cells, containing membrane-bound organelles and a nucleus, evolved about 1.5 billion years ago through a process known as endosymbiosis. This event led to the formation of more complex organisms and paved the way for the diversity of life we see today.
It basically means all cells are divided into two types: prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic cells. Prokaryotic cells evolved 3.5 billion years ago and have a nucleus. Examples of a Prokaryotic cell include protista, fungi, plants and animals. Eukaryotic cells evolved 1.5 billion years ago and do not have a nucleus. An example of a Eukaryotic cell is bacteria.
Prokaryotes populated Earth for about 1.5 billion years before the evolution of eukaryotic cells, which are more complex. Eukaryotic cells are believed to have evolved around 2 billion years ago through a process called endosymbiosis.
2.1 billion years ago
According to the fossil record, the earliest cells lived about 3.5 billion years ago.
Single Cells were formed sometime between 3 and 3.5 billion years ago, however cells with nuclei formed later at about 2.7 billion years ago.
Single cell prokaryotes first appeared perhaps 3.8 billion years ago.
Yes, prokaryotic cells are generally considered to be older than eukaryotic cells in terms of evolutionary history. Fossil evidence and molecular studies suggest that prokaryotes appeared on Earth around 3.5 billion years ago, while eukaryotes evolved much later, around 1.6 billion years ago.
No. Earth itself is "only" about 4.6 billion years old. The first life may have emerged about 4 billion years ago.
Most scientific models suggest that the first simple cells appeared on Earth around 3.5 to 4 billion years ago. These simple cells evolved into more complex life forms over millions of years through processes like natural selection and genetic mutation.
