A - _________________________________ B - ______________________________
1.2. From the figures, select the option that correctly evaluates the following statements: ___
1. A is a procariótica cell and B is a eucariótica cell.
2. Cell B can be a bactéria.
3. A is a eucariótica cell and B is a procariótica cell.

(A) 1 and 3 are false, 2 is true.

(B) 1 and 3 are true, 2 is false.
(C) All statements are false.
(D) All statements are true.
1.3. Select the only option that allows you to complete the following statement correctly:
In figure A is represented a cell ___, because ___. In figure B a ___ cell is represented, since ___.
(A) plant; ___ does not present mitochondria; ___ animal; ___ presents cell membrane
(B) plant; ___ presents chloroplasts; ___ animal; ___ does not have a cell wall
(C) animal; ___ no chloroplasts; ___ vegetable; ___ presents cell wall
(D) animal; ___ has mitochondria; ___ vegetable; ___ has a large vacuole.
1.4 Indicate the cell structure number responsible for each of the following functions:
A. Produces energy through cellular respiration. 4
B. Carry out photosynthesis. ___
C. Regulates the amount of water in the cells. ___
D. Control cell activity. ___
E. Check stiffness on the cells and keep their shape more or less even. ___
F. Delimit the cell, allowing for exchanges with neighboring cells or the surrounding environment.___
1.5. Select the incorrect option on the cells represented in figures A and B. ___
(A) Both cells have núcleo.
(B) These cells can be found in multicellular organisms.
(C) Cell A can belong to a pine tree and cell B to an elephant.

 3. Computer models suggest that, throughout Earth's history, there are long periods of stability that are
interrupted by changes in the atmosphere at the levels of CO2, O2 and CH4, as shown in the following
figure.

3.1. Indicate how, throughout geological time, varied (increasing , remaining the same = or decreasing ) the
concentration of:
a ) CO2 ____________________________________________________________________________________
b ) O2 ____________________________________________________________________________________
c ) CH4 ____________________________________________________________________________________
3.2. The sharp rise in O2, around ___ billion years, must have been the result of activity__.
(A) 2 (...) respiratory bacteria
(B) 2.7 (...) photosynthetic of terrestrial bacteria
(C) 2.7 (...) photosynthetic of bacteria existing in the oceans
(D) 1 (...) respiratory of animals
3.3. Explain how the existence of oxygen in the Earth's atmosphere was responsible for the appearance of the
first terrestrial life forms.

4. Read the text.
Aristóteles believed that some forms of life, perhaps all, arose spontaneously. This idea, which was not exclusively his own,
was based on direct observation: plants suddenly appear in a fertile soil after the rain and the larvae materialize in the decaying
flesh. At the beginning of the 20th century, Aleksandr Oparin, a Russian biochemist, proposed and developed the idea that life
originated in the hot, humid environment of the old land surface, under an essentially methane-like atmosphere. The ancient
seas, according to Oparin, were rich in simple organic molecules that reacted by forming ever more complex molecules,
eventually giving rise to proteins which in turn have been organized precursors of the cells. The first cells would have been
similar to the current bacteria.

1.1.Identify the theory defended by Aristóteles.

1.3. Select the option that correctly completes the statement. ___
Oparin's hypothesis for the origin of life:
(A) was immediately accepted. (C) presupposes an atmosphere similar to the current one.
(B) is based on an extraterrestrial model. (D) presupposes the "primitive soup".
