Impacts of Excessive Gravity on Planetary Life

[Darkmisc]

I read somewhere that the size and gravity of a planet is one factor in its ability to support life.

What would be the consequences for life if a planet's gravity were too strong?

I can imagine that moving around would be difficult, but would there also be consequences for bacteria?


Thanks

Too strong for what? My guess is that whatever evolution takes place the resultant life will be suited to the gravity of the planet.
