Typhoon. Write VE for Volcanic Eruption, E for Earthquake or T for Typhoon on the space
provided.
1. Lava flow 1.
2. Ground Rupture 2.

7. Pyroclastic flow 7.
8. Storm surge 8.
9. Ash fall 9.
10. Ballistic projectile 10.

B. Identification. Read the following statements and choose the answer that best
describes the experiment/theory/hypothesis from the box below. Write the letter of
your answer on the space provided.

a. Aristotelian Abiogenesis f. Oparin and Haldanes Chemical Evolution Theory of Life

b. Redis Experiment g. Millers Experiment
c. Needhams Experiment h. Lynn Margulis Endosymbiotic Theory
d. Spallanzanis Experiment i. Martin Muller Hydrogen Hypothesis
e. Pasteurs Broth Experiment j. RNA World Hypothesis

11. An experiment done by an Italian scientist in 1767 to prove microbes comes from the air. 11.
Broth are boiled intensely killing all the microorganisms thus disproving spontaneous
generation
12. Proposition that suggested that the organic compounds could have undergone a series 12.
of reactions in the atmosphere and ocean leading to more and more complex molecules.
13. A model proposed in 1998 that describes a possible way in which 13.
the mitochondrion arose as an endosymbiont within an archaeon (without doubts
classified as prokaryote at then times), giving rise to a symbiotic association of two cells
from which the first eukaryotic cell could have arisen (symbiogenesis) because of
dependency of methanogen to hydrogen in making food.
14. An experiment of an Italian doctor in 1668 who proved maggots came from flies, 14.
disproving spontaneous generation.
15. Experiment done by a French scientist that proved that micro organisms was carried by 15.
dust not air.
16. Living things come from non living things (Spontaneous Generation) 16.
17. Experiment done to test Oparins Hypothesis 17.
18. Eukaryote came from the merging of Prokaryotes (Host bacterium, Cyanobacteria and 18.
Aerobic Bacteria)
19. The debate over spontaneous generation continued for centuries. In 1745, an English 19.
clergyman, proposed what he considered the definitive experiment. Everyone knew that
boiling killed microorganisms, so he proposed to test whether or not microorganisms
appeared spontaneously after boiling. He boiled chicken broth, put it into a flask, sealed
it, and waited - sure enough, microorganisms grew. He claimed victory for spontaneous
generation.
20. the mitochondrion arose as an endosymbiont within an archaeon (without doubts 20.
classified as prokaryote at then times), giving rise to a symbiotic association of two cells
from which the first eukaryotic cell could have arisen (symbiogenesis) because of
dependency of methanogen to hydrogen in making food.
