The type of cellular organism that likely existed first on Earth would've been the prokaryotic cell, because it is the simplest form of like known to man.

As far as we know, the steps of the formation of life on Earth went like this (from longest time ago to most recent):

Prokaryotic cells, eukaryotic cells, sexual reproduction, multi-cellular life

It's also important to note that the Earth is over 4 billion years old, so all of these processes have been going on for a long time.

Which is smaller a eukaryotic organism or a prokaryotic organism?

Eukaryotes have organelles, like the mitochondria, which we think were prokaryotes a very long time ago. To fit these organelles inside their cytoplasm, the eukaryotes would have to be larger.


How does the water molecule existed on the Earth?

Water molecules have existed on Earth since its formation billions of years ago. They were likely brought to the planet by icy asteroids and comets during its early stages. Water is essential for life as we know it and has played a crucial role in shaping Earth's geology and climate over time.


Is radioactivity in the world relatively new?

No, radioactivity is not new. It has existed since the formation of Earth and is a natural phenomenon. The discovery and understanding of radioactivity by scientists in the late 19th and early 20th centuries brought attention to its presence in the world.


What are three discoveries about cells did scientists make several hundred years ago?

Every organism is composed of cells. Every cell exist from pre existed cell. Cell is the basic thing of life


What age is the single-celled organism at the base of the tree of life?

The single-celled organism at the base of the tree of life, often referred to as the last universal common ancestor (LUCA), is estimated to have existed around 3.5 to 4 billion years ago. This ancient organism is thought to be a simple prokaryote, from which all current life forms, including bacteria, archaea, and eukaryotes, eventually descended. Its age reflects the early stages of life's evolution on Earth.
