  1. heterotroph hypothesis
    The theory of original life on earth during a time when the atomosphere was mostly hydrogen, ammonia meathane and water.
  2. Heterotrophs
    • Cannont synthesize food.
    • The first cells were heterotrophs.
  3. Autotroph
    Synthesizes own food from solar energy
  4. Anaerobic organisms
