- W3207942397 abstract "The first forms of life that developed on Earth were believed to be simple, single celled organisms that consisted of genetic material enclosed in a simple lipid bilayer. The formation of these simple lipids has been observed under a laboratory setting that included the atmospheric conditions of ancient Earth. These conditions included extreme heat, atmospheric discharge, high levels of radiation, and extreme pH levels. The elements carbon, nitrogen, and even some water were present during this time as well. Nitrogen and sulfur are known building blocks of genetic material found in terrestrial life. One can speculate that life in extraterrestrial bodies, such as moons and asteroids, exists because they contain the above-mentioned basic components of life and are exposed to environmental conditions similar to those that might have led to the origin of life on Earth. Extremophiles are organisms, often single celled, which thrive in extreme environmental conditions such as high pH and temperature. For this review, I will discuss the conditions required for life, how extremophiles thrive in harsh conditions, and how these organisms may potentially exist on extraterrestrial bodies. Research done on Earth’s deep sea volcanic vents has yielded findings that life is abundant in these highly pressurized and hot settings. This same idea can be applied to extraterrestrial bodies that are known to have vents of their own. Io, one of Jupiter’s many moons, is one such body. Io has a sulfur rich atmosphere as well as volcanic vents that eject large plumes of gas into the atmosphere and even into space. The presence of geothermal activity, sulfur, and carbon suggests that primitive life forms could thrive near the volcanic vents on Io. With so many extraterrestrial bodies that contain all the right conditions and materials for life, it can be theorized that life may be more abundant in space than originally thought.Faculty Mentor: Magaly Rincon-Zachary" @default.
