A period of rapid diversification of multicellular life, particularly marked by the appearance of new body plans and major animal phyla in the fossil record.

A group of organisms that obtain energy from sunlight and use carbon dioxide as their primary carbon source.

The process of acquiring new DNA from a donor organism, often a different species.

The process in which different species evolve similar traits independently due to similar environmental pressures.

The process of acquiring new DNA from a donor organism, often a different species.

A type of RNA molecule that can catalyze (speed up) chemical reactions, like enzymes.

The process of acquiring new DNA from a donor organism, often a different species. Think of genes being passed sideways, not just from parent to offspring.

An organism that obtains its energy from sunlight and uses carbon dioxide as its primary carbon source.

Organisms that can synthesize their own food from inorganic sources, typically through photosynthesis or chemosynthesis.

A group of organisms characterized by being able to use sunlight for energy and carbon dioxide to build their own food.

Microscopic organisms that live in virtually every habitat on Earth, including the human body.

Viruses that infect and replicate inside host cells.

The major event in the evolution of life that led to the first photosynthetic eukaryotes, involving the engulfment of a cyanobacterium by a eukaryotic cell.

The process by which prokaryotes (bacteria and archaea) obtain genetic material from other organisms.

A group of organisms that obtain energy from the oxidation of inorganic compounds.

A type of RNA molecule that can act as an enzyme, catalyzing (speeding up) chemical reactions.

Organisms that cannot produce their own food and rely on consuming other organisms for energy and nutrients.

A group of organisms characterized by their ability to obtain energy from the oxidation of inorganic compounds. Think of these organisms using chemicals for energy, not sunlight.

A group of organisms characterized by their ability to obtain energy from the oxidation of inorganic compounds. Think of these organisms using chemicals for energy, not sunlight.

A group of organisms that obtain energy from the oxidation of inorganic compounds.

A group of organisms that obtain energy from the oxidation of inorganic compounds.

The acquisition of new DNA by an organism from a donor organism, often a different species.

The evolutionary process by which new species arise from pre-existing species.

A group of organisms classified as belonging to the same evolutionary lineage.

The evolutionary process by which new species arise from pre-existing species.

A microbial community in Yellowstone National Park characterized by extremely high temperatures near boiling water.

A group of organisms that obtain energy from sunlight and use carbon dioxide as their primary carbon source.

A group of organisms that obtain energy from the oxidation of inorganic compounds.

A group of organisms that obtain energy from the oxidation of inorganic compounds.

A group of organisms characterized by their ability to use sunlight for energy and carbon dioxide to build their own food.
