1. Those dinosaurs had sharp, pointed teeth for
tearing flesh and flat, grinding teeth for
processing plant material.
a. Carnivore
b. Omnivore
c. Herbivorous
d. None
2. The phanerozoic eon is divided
into:
a. Three epochs
b. Three eras
c. Three periods
d. Two epochs
3. In this eon the atmosphere was composed mainly of
carbon dioxide, water vapor, and nitrogen. The first
forms of life began to appear, and the Earth was still
cooling and solidifying.
a. Hadean
b. Proterozoic
c. Archean
d. Phanerozoic
4. Which of the following could not be considered a conservation
biogeography action?
a. Establishing a new wildlife reserve to protect a population of
endangered species.
b. Introduce new invasive exotic species such as "Buchones de
agua" to purify the water.
c. Researching to understand the migration patterns of a species
to inform conservation planning.
d. Removing invasive plant species from a wetland to restore
native plant communities.
5. The 1) __________ (GTS) is a system of
chronological dating that relates geological strata
(rock layers) to time. It is divided into 2) _______,
the second-largest division, 3) __________, the
smallest division, 4) _________, the most
inclusive division of time, and 5) ___________,
which an example is Silurian.
6. Organisms that can interbreed and
produce fertile offspring:
a. Species
b. Speciation
c. Ecological niche
d. Species distribution
7. The "Buchón de agua" is a plant native to the Amazon that
forms extensive floating mats. In previous years it was used to
treat the Fuquene lagoon (located between Cundinamarca and
Boyacá) due to its purifying capacities. However, it is now
classified as an invasive species, due to its rapid growth that
causes low availability of oxygen. This is an example of:
a. Evolutionary biogeography
b. Natural biotic interchange
c. Human biotic interchange
d. Conservation biogeography
8. What is the main concern of biogeographic
evolution?
a. How organisms are distributed in space and time
b. How ecosystems change over time
c. How organisms change in response to their
environment
d. How organisms interact with each other in
different habitats
9. In this period of the Paleozoic era lived
many algae in the ocean but land plants
had not yet evolved.
a. Permian
b. Carboniferous
c. Ordovician
d. Cambrian
10. How did the breakup of the supercontinent Pangaea
influence Mesozoic climate?
a. It led to widespread glaciation.
b. It created more arid conditions globally.
c. It increased volcanic activity, leading to warming.
d. It facilitated the development of more diverse
climates and ecosystems
