_________ 4. These are elements that naturally occur as single chemical elements, such as, Au, Cu
and others, rather than as chemical compounds.

_________ 5. These are minerals that occur as ores, or minerals that are highly concentrated as
deposits that can be mined.

A. Sulfides B. Carbonates C. Halides

_________ 6. This is a theory that hypothesized by Oparin and Haldane, stating that the
spontaneous formation of organic molecules produced a “____________________”, which later
gave rise to living organisms.

A. Primordial Soup B. Mitochondrial Soup C. Prime Soup

_________ 7. This is widely considered a classic experiment. It provided foundational pieces of

evidence that support a theory on the origin of life forms that arose spontaneously through
chemical reactions.

A. Oparin-Urey B. Miller-Haldane C. Miller-Urey

_________ 8. These were the first oxygen producing organisms that helped evolve the Earth’s
early atmosphere into one that can support the early life forms.

A. Cyanobacteria B. microfossils C. stromatolites

_________ 9. These are one of the strongest pieces of evidence that show many life forms existed
on Earth in the past 3.5 billion years.

A. Fossils B. Remnants C. Monuments

_________ 10. This is the further groupings of organisms into higher level classification.

A. Domain B. Kingdom C. Phylum

_________ 11. A German biologist who suggested that cells came from pre-existing cells through
cell division that led to the development of Cell Theory.

A. Matthias Schleiden B. Rudolf Virchow C. Theodore Schwann

_________ 12. He discovered cells in 1665.

A. Robert Hooke B. Robert Brown C. Robert Daniel

_________ 13. He was the first to observe live cells. He called the cells “animalcules” or small
animals.
A. Anton van Leeuwenhoek B. Robert Hooke C. Robert Brown

_________ 14. He provided the first account of the nucleus – the conspicuous central structure of
the cell.
A. Robert Hooke B. Robert Brown C. Robert Black

_________ 15. This is a waste product of cellular respiration or the oxidation process. This is
released by humans and animals.
A. Nitrogen B. Oxygen C. Carbon Dioxide

_________ 16. This is also called the citric acid cycle. It takes place within the mitochondria.

A. Glycolysis B. Kreb Cycle C. Photosynthesis

_________ 17. Is a biochemical pathway by which living cells obtain energy from the chemical
bonds of organic molecules such as carbohydrates, proteins and fats.
A. Cellular Respiration B. Kreb Cycle C. Glycolyis

_________ 18. This is the first stage of the Cellular Respiration or the splitting of glucose into
pyruvic acid. In this process, oxygen combines with glucose to release ATP.

A. Citric Acid Cycle B. Kreb Cycle C. Glycolysis

_________ 19. The carbon dioxide enters the leaf through a small openings or pores called _____.

A. Chlorophyll B. Stomata C. Stroma

_________ 20. This is a process wherein carbon dioxide is used as a raw material in the light-
independent reactions of photosynthesis to produce glucose.

A. Carbon Fixation B. Carbon Oxidation C. Carbon Synthesis

Part II. Determine the Theme of Life Process involved in the following situations. Choose from
the list below.
A. Biological System
B. Cellular Basis of Life
C. Form and Functions
D. Reproduction and Inheritance
E. Interaction with the Environment
F. Energy
G. Evolution

__________ 1. Organisms need energy to perform biological processes that help them meet their
basic needs and survive.

__________ 2. Organisms that have the same needs compete for the limited resources. An
increase in the growth rates of competing organisms also puts strains on these resources.

__________ 3. Animals and plants went through changes in structures to adapt to the type of the
ecosystems in which they lived.

__________ 4. The passing of genes across generations is responsible for the similarities in
characteristics among organisms.

__________ 5. As it is often suggested, “form fits function”.

__________ 6. All living things, whether unicellular or multicellular are made up of cells.

__________ 7. The skeletal system and the muscular system work together.

__________ 8. Living things reproduce to perpetuate their kind.

__________ 9. The abiotic and biotic components of the Earth interact with one another.

__________ 10. Through the process of photosynthesis, plants give off oxygen, which is one of
the essential elements that animals need to survive.

Part III. Identification. Parts of the Cell

__________________ 1. Is a semi-permeable membrane. It serves to protect the organelles in the

cytoplasm and determines which materials can pass in and out of the cell.

__________________ 2. This is the largest and most distinct feature of both animal and plant
cells. It serves as the control center of the cell.

__________________ 3. These are tiny bead-like structures which serve as sites for protein
synthesis.

__________________ 4. It may look like long tubules or flattened sacs. It is where the ribosomes
are attached.

__________________ 5. It was first described by Camillo Golgi in 1898. It is made up of a system

of membrane-bound vesicles where secretory products of the cells are stored and packed for
secretion.

__________________ 6. It serves as sites for chemical reactions that extract energy from different
food sources. It is the powerhouse of the cell.

__________________ 7. These are smaller than the mitochondria, serve as storage vesicles for
hydrolytic enzymes. These serves as the “digestive system” for the cells through which the food
particles ingested are digested.
________________ 8. These are fluid –filled spaces found both in animal and plant cells. This
part is bigger in plant cells than in animal cells. It helps maintain the shape of the plant cell.

________________ 9. These are structures found outside the nucleus. They are responsible for
the formation of the spindle fiber in cell division.

________________10. These are structures found only in plant cells. They are rounded or oval in
shape.

________________ 11. This is the basic structure that provides a framework to the cell. It consists
of two different ends- a head and a tail.

________________ 12. This is a molecule responsible for maintaining the consistency of the cell
membrane.

________________ 13. A double walled membrane that regulates the exchange of materials
between the nucleus and cytoplasm.

________________ 14. A dark staining body which disappears when the cell is about to divide.

________________ 15. The liquid matrix that is enveloped or enclosed by the nuclear envelope.

________________ 16. The long thread-like or granular structures that are made up of the genetic
aerial and proteins to form chromosomes.

________________ 17. These are structures that are suspended in the cytoplasm. They perform
specific functions.

________________ 18. It is a colorless plastid involved in storing food and is usually found in the
roots of plants like potatoes and cassava.

________________ 19. It contains the green pigment chlorophyll.

________________ 20. It contains he other photosynthetic pigments—orange, yellow, blue and

red.
