We talked about how single complex molecules started to form plates, and then a sphere. The cells had some molybdenum to render other molecules. Tearing apart hydrogen, nitrogen, bonds, etc, is hard as CellBarbie says. But as bacteria and cells started to float all over the place, they needed a way to eat and not be eaten. This is evolution where a million years is a heartbeat.
Plants came first, and were just blobs of organic things. The key factor here was that they just sat around and didn't move, and they just sucked in stuff that floated by. They used their quantum atoms to make the trick of turning light energy (photons) into food. Bacteria had it first, so plants just sucked them in.
Life is boring with just plants. How about something that moves around and eats things? That would be animals. In a million years there was improvement through evolution, which is simply 'eat or be eaten'. We had two good structures for something that could move, reproduce, and eat. The first is the spherical blob. Very nice, and those were the clams. We went through that.
Next was the tube. Water could come in one end and out the other. Perfect! These became worms. Remember the big constraint of evolution is that each molecular change must impart an advantage in the 'eat-eaten' department. For a tube, it would be nice for the head to know what the rear was doing. This was defined by the water flow. One end always won, and the other was the ass.
