In cell biology, cytokinesis results in two separate:

57% Answer Correctly

chromosomes

nuclei

chromatids

cells


Solution

During cell division, the cytokinesis phase occurs when cytoplasm and cell membranes complete their separation resulting in two separate cells.


2

All surface water is part of the:

76% Answer Correctly

geosphere

lithosphere

atmosphere

hydrosphere


Solution

The biosphere is the global ecological system integrating all living beings and their relationships. This includes their interactions with the lithosphere (the rigid outer part of the earth, consisting of the crust and upper mantle), hydrosphere (all surface water), and atmosphere (the envelope of gases surrounding the planet).


3

An element in the physical state of __________ maintains a constant volume and shape.

86% Answer Correctly

liquid

gas

solid

gel


Solution

An element in a solid state has atoms or molecules that are constricted and do not move freely. Solids maintain a constant volume and shape and exist at a lower temperature than liquids or gases.


4

Sound travels fastest through which of the following media?

48% Answer Correctly

water

vacuum

metal

air


Solution

The speed of a sound wave will vary with the medium.  Sound travels fastest through media that has particles that are very close together, like metal. Thus, it travels faster through water than through air and doesn't travel at all through a vacuum (there are no particles in empty space to vibrate).


5

Carbohydrates are found in:

88% Answer Correctly

animal sources

sugars and starches

vegetable oils

food additives


Solution

Carbohydrates are major sources of energy for the body and are found in sugars (fruit, cane sugar, beets) and starches (bread, rice, potatoes, pasta).
