This document contains a quiz on concepts related to earth and life science. It includes multiple choice and true/false questions that assess understanding of key topics like the geologic eras when dinosaurs evolved, the significance of fossils in understanding life's history on Earth, and examples of cellular basis of life and response to stimuli in plants. The quiz also contains questions about human thermoregulation and plant pollinator adaptations. Additional questions test comprehension of energy transfer between organisms, abiotic vs biotic factors, mechanisms of evolution and continuity of life. The document concludes by asking to arrange biological systems in hierarchical order from cell to biosphere.
