Paleontology

A branch of science concerning the scientific study of life from ancient times is known as paleontology. The scientists working on paleontology are known as paleontologists. Paleontologists collect the fossils of organisms from ancient times to classify them. The paleontologists also study the environment from ancient times to study the interactions between different organisms.

16) The following statements concern organisms called stromatolites. Which statements are true and which are false? Correct the false statements. The oldest fossil stromatolites are between 3.5 and 3.9 billion years old. No stromatolites are alive today. Ancient stromatolites were composed of microbial mats layered with sediments. The first stromatolites could fix CO2, but they did not produce O2. Stromatolites form around deep sea vents. Another name for stromatolites is “banded iron formations”. 17) Multicellularity is an important evolutionary innovation in the history of life on Earth. For the following statements, designate which is true (T) and which is false (F). Correct the false. Multicellularity has evolved independently a few times in the history of life. Multicellular members of domain Eukarya arose through the process of endosymbiosis. Multicellular organisms have cells specialized for different functions, with each cell type…
