Early water plant life on planet
Spirit is believed to have started from the single celled Ribone. Ribone are photosynthetic organisms that use sunlight as a source of
energy with the help of chlorophyll and other pigments found in their cells.
They are the oldest living organisms known to contain chlorophyll, and may be
green, brown, and red. Ribone are
found most anywhere in the water including saltwater, freshwater, hot boiling
springs, in snow, and on ice. The unicellular Ribone has the
cell wall that works to keep the shape of the cell. By natural, it develops
the strength to form a crack that further firm the entire cell. Ribone shows
a simple reproductive asexual cell division and can make their own food
without the need of others. It represents the simplest biological systems
capable of independent life. They are the primary producers of organic matter
at the bottom of the food chain
As their numbers grew the
availability of the food declined. In order to be survived, Ribone had to
adapt to their new environment by developing photosynthesis. It was continue
to grow and afterward build the structure that became a new species called
Ribonic. These new species may therefore represent the first and most
successful adaptation of life to its environment. The transition to an oxygen-rich
atmosphere occurred about billion years ago and Ribone cells appeared between
two and one billion years ago. As they formed a new plant, Ribonic grew like
the original shape of the cell.
Evolution has led to the increasing of the function and structure of
these cells, and to the development of more complex cells. Estuaries Environment Various types of Ribone are named to their characteristics.
Among the most important estuarine species are floating plants called
Floatic. Like other green plants, Floatic uses the energy from sunlight to
produce its own food, and absorbs nutrients, such
as Nitrogen and Phosphorus, from the water. Some kind of Floatic can grow
quickly because of the abundant nutrients. As a
result, the Floatics turn the water to a deep green color.
Streams and Rivers Environment The Chloratic type tends to grow around the streams and
rivers. The
dispersal organs spreading in through the streams. They grow to look and
feel like hair and can be easily pulled by hand or using a simple tool. They seem to be at the origin of the upper plants
because they are endowed with the same molecules of chlorophyll. The Chloratic are composed of joined cells
each of which possesses a chloroplast rolled up in spiral, which they use to capture light energy to fuel the manufacture
of their own food. Chloratic is one of the most important organisms in
aquatic ecosystems. As
the lakes overflow, Chloratic cells travel through the streams and rivers,
eventually being able to attach themselves to the bottoms and form the root
into it. They grow toward the water surface, while still being
attached to the bottom surface of the rivers and streams. Their filaments
become thicker and go up to the surface. Some of them get longer and reaches
the edge of the river and grow up there. Oceans Environment
Shallow Water Mud
Rediatic are red because of the
presence of the red pigment that they use to capture sunlight for
photosynthesis, wherein give them their distinctive colors as well. Rediatics have no roots to absorb nutrients
instead they have root-like holdfasts, The holdfast attaches to a rock or
other hard surfaces. The following diagram shows
how the life forms are related. The new species Ribonic that develop from a
parent species are shown going down, for example, the Bunchy is the
ancestor of the Ribonic. Species that develop from a common ancestor are shown
side by side: Floatic, Chloratic,
and Rediatic
