A friend who loves lightning once said to me that cancer is the price all aerobic organisms has to pay.
Millions of years ago, oxygen was once a poison to every single-celled organisms. Basically, oxygen destroys the system of every microorganisms and prevented them from functioning. It’s a scare ~added the fact that oxygen is one of the abundant gasses in the atmosphere.
Earth was once a deadly place then~ at least to our ancestors. And within that timeframe, if oxygen entered the membrane of a cell, it embraced death. I just wonder how did the early bacteria survived this toxic airborne gas.
Call it a leap of faith.
The first successful one-celled life form has to take the risk and use it in cell division. And with that risk, mutation had started. Algae was able to synthesize this through photoysnthesis and they evolved protective enzymes for them to acquire aerobic respiration. That is why cancer cells are not present in plants.
That’s the shortcut story of our ancestors overcoming this disease ~And yes, I call that faith. Millions of years ago, our roots have conquered cancer.
YOU should conquer yours too.
This is a tribute to all cancer patients. My grandmother died of breast cancer when I was so young. And I do not understand any thing about cancer then.
To all cancer patients:
I don’t call it cancer. I call it a ‘challenge.’

Ahemmm… Ax, with all due respect to you, have you researched this entry?
I honor the tribute to all cancer patients. Some of my favorite teachers passed away due to this illness… Currently, one of my aunts has cancer…
Going back to my question, my biology lessons have told me that life on earth began when amino acids spawned life into single celled organisms call prokaryotes… (The geologic conditions during those times connived to produce these essential acids. There is an experiment that simulated the geologic and climactic condition during time zero, and they were able to synthesize amino acids… The experiment is called as the Miller-Urey experiment… The atmosphere that time had high contents of carbon gas and hydrogen compounds such as methane and ammonia. Oxygen existed in the atmosphere but not mostly in its free form, it paired with carbon dioxide. The bulk of oxygen at that time was found in water…)
When prokaryotes have learned how to trapped the energy of the sun to make food through photosynthesis, the atmosphere of the earth has also started its own evolution. When cyanobacteria appeared on the surface of the earth, the atmosphere has taken a major leap. Cyanobacteria has mass produced oxygen gas in its paired form and so the atmosphere was “oxygenated”.
This “new” atmosphere with so much oxygen compared to its early stages has paved the way for the development of a very important but basic phylum: Protists – the first complex life on earth…
As such, the true leap of faith was not to take in oxygen, but to harness light and take in carbon dioxide instead through photosynthesis. Oxygen was merely a by-product of this process.
Also, cell division in relation to breathing in oxygen would hold true in the light of photosynthesis paving the way for the evolution of protists…
LikeLike
Going back to that leap of faith, perhaps it could be always argued in whichever point of the fulcrum one will stand.
While I do agree that oxygen is toxic to the prokaryotes, the development of complex organisms may have come in a much later time if oxygen was kept at bay. The reason is that adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the main transporter of energy for metabolism is lower for anaerobic organisms than aerobic organisms.
And following this train of thought, given that plantlike organisms will continue to evolve, life on earth may have been in less abundance as it is now. For all we know, we might have turned to be sentient photosynthetic organisms… hehehe…
And given your viewpoint for that “leap of faith” for oxygen use, your reason is entirely justified… 🙂
Going back to “my” leap of faith, I have considered it as the development of photosynthesis because it basically paved for complex life to flourish. As such, harnessing its oxygen by-product was for me a matter of consequence in the grand design of life…
And talking of the grand design for life, this basically negates that leap of faith, for surely these organisms we are talking about did not have the ability to think. The Designer placed them all in consequential timeline…
Hay… Pati ako nosebleed… hehehe… Parang naalala ko lang yung essay ko dati on the Theory of Intelligent Design…
Tama na nga ito, baka kung saan pa ako makarating… Hahaha!!!

abundant gas in the atmosphere??? di ba nitrogen yon? oxygen ba talaga? pakiexplain.
LikeLike
Billions of years ago, development, evolution and growth of life increases the quantity of oxygen in the atmosphere from <1% to 21%. T'was to 4.0 to 3.3 billions years way back that oxygen begins to accumulate the planet.
Sometime during the late Archaean era an oxygen-containing atmosphere began to develop, apparently from photosynthesizing algae which have been found as stromatolite fossils from 2.7 billion years ago. The early basic carbon isotopy (isotope ratio proportions) is very much in line with what is found today, suggesting that the fundamental features of the carbon cycle were established as early as 4 billion years ago.
But yeah, billions of years ago, Nitrogen is also abundant. Right now, nitrogen encompasses 70+% of atmospheric gasses and oxygen only 20+%. I might be wrong by using the word "only." Oks, I will replace it with the phrase "One of the abundant gasses."
This explanation also caught me off guard: "If the oxygen content was higher then fires and explosions would be the norm. the planet would be unlivable. Since nitrogen is inert it dilutes the oxygen and also holds down rust and corrosion." and "There's another problem. Fire. If there is more oxygen in the Earth's atmosphere, more fires will occur, until the whole planet is up in flames. The fires convert the oxygen to carbon dioxide, so it may not be possible to get to 53% because oxygen will burn up things and get out of the atmosphere before then."
Thanks Mhar for that!
LikeLike
Now it confuses me, it says that nitrogen constitutes 78% by volume of Earth’s atmosphere. By that 78%, it holds true that nitrogen dominated the atmosphere.
But oxygen is the third most abundant element in the universe by mass after hydrogen and helium and the most abundant element by mass in the Earth’s crust.
By volume versus by mass. Which of which?
Help needed. I hope Kuya Mark of Nooks and Crannies and Mr. Nonsense could provide answers.
LikeLike
By abundant, it may mean mass. Remember that gases occupy whatever volume there is, regardless of their mass.
To calculate the mass of N2 and O2 in the atmosphere eludes me at the moment because the density of gases is a function of temperature and pressure, and add humidity for “air” as a gas.

Okay:
Despite its status as a necessary life substance for all except a few special organisms, oxygen is a highly toxic mutagenic gas (FREE RADICALS IN BIOLOGY AND MEDICINE, B Halliwell and J MC Gutteridge, OUP, Oxford 1999, p. 1). We can only survive its presence in our atmosphere because we have important anti-oxidant mechanisms to protect us from its damage.
LikeLike
Oxygen, we need it to breathe. But early organisms would have found this environment toxic. Ancient bacteria evolved protective enzymes that prevented oxygen from damaging their DNA, but what evolutionary incentive did they have to do this? Researchers have discovered that ultraviolet light hitting the surface of glacial ice can release molecular oxygen. Bacteria colonies living near this ice would have needed to evolve this protective defense. They were then well equipped to handle the growth of atmospheric oxygen produced by other bacteria that would normally be toxic.
Two and a half billion years ago, when our evolutionary ancestors were little more than a twinkle in a bacterium’s plasma membrane, the process known as photosynthesis suddenly gained the ability to release molecular oxygen into Earth’s atmosphere, causing one of the largest environmental changes in the history of our planet. The organisms assumed responsible were the cyanobacteria, which are known to have evolved the ability to turn water, carbon dioxide, and sunlight into oxygen and sugar, and are still around today as the blue-green algae and the chloroplasts in all green plants.
