1

In cell biology, where does DNA replication take place?

64% Answer Correctly

cytoplasm

mitochondria

Golgi apparatus

nucleus


Solution

The cell nucleus contains the genetic material of the cell and is where DNA replication takes place.


2

Heat is always transferred from __________ to __________ environments.

68% Answer Correctly

dense, empty

warmer, cooler

cooler, warmer

empty, dense


Solution

Heat is always transferred from warmer to cooler environments and conduction is the simplest way this transfer can occur. It is accomplished through direct contact between materials and materials like metals that transfer heat efficiently are called conductors while those that conduct heat poorly, such as plastic, are called insulators.


3

The respiratory and circulatory systems are similar in that they:

83% Answer Correctly

transport nutrients

add carbon dioxide

deoxygenate blood

transport oxygen


Solution

Like the respiratory system, the circulatory system serves to transport oxygen throughout the body while removing carbon dioxide. In addition, the circulatory system transports nutrients from the digestive system.


4

Materials like metals that transfer heat efficiently are called:

82% Answer Correctly

insulators

conductors

refractors

reflectors


Solution

Heat is always transferred from warmer to cooler environments and conduction is the simplest way this transfer can occur. It is accomplished through direct contact between materials and materials like metals that transfer heat efficiently are called conductors while those that conduct heat poorly, such as plastic, are called insulators.


5

Most digestion takes place where?

65% Answer Correctly

mouth

large intestine

small intestine

stomach


Solution

The small intestine is where most digestion takes place. As food travels along the small intestine it gets broken down completely by enzymes secreted from the walls. These enzymes are produced in the small intestine as well as in the pancreas and liver. After the enzymes break down the food, the resulting substances are then absorbed into the blood via capillaries in the small intestine walls.
