Name:____________________________________________________________ Grade and Section:_______________________

Part A. True or False. Write true if the statement is correct and false if it is incorrect.
___________1. Life on Earth initially began with eukaryotes, discovered in sedimentary rock formations called stromatolites.
___________2. Homo erectus have evolved in the Mesozoic era.
___________3. The appearance of the first eukaryotes and the influx of multicellular organisms occurred 1.2 billion years ago.
___________4. The universe is about 4.6 billion years old.
___________5. The first mammals are our most direct ancestors, evolved from Amniotes. One of the earliest known mammals
was Eozostrodon lived about 4.6 million years ago
___________6. The cell theory is the foundation of our understanding of reproduction and growth of organisms.
___________7. Biotic factors are inanimate objects which include rocks, water, weather and other living things present in the
environment
___________8. Abiotic factors are defined by set of characteristics including the ability to reproduce, grow, move and ability to
adapt to its environment.
___________9. Evolution is the change in living things over time.
___________10. The continuity of life depends on the inheritance of biological information in the form of DNA molecules.

a. Biological systems are disorganized.
b. The study of Biology is important. It enables us to make appropriate decisions in life. Failure to grasp biological
concepts lead into an inappropriate decisions.
c. One must value life by taking good care of all beings, humans, plants and animals.
d. Biotic factors are dependent on its environment which consists of nonliving organisms.
9. All organisms alive today have descended from simple cellular creatures billions of years ago. Biologists were able to
identify and preserved some of the characteristics of that earliest organisms. This is associated in what theme?
a. Function and structure are interdependent
b. Cell theory as a description of living systems.
c. Emergent properties arise from the organization of life.

a. evolution
b. adaptation
c. inheritance
d. reproduction
