1

In cell biology, what part of the cell contains organelles?

54% Answer Correctly

cell membrane

cell wall

cytoplasm


Solution

The nucleus of a eukaryotic cell contains the genetic material of the cell and is surrounded by cytoplasm which contains many organelles.

81% Answer Correctly

endoskeleton

exoskeleton

vertebrate

bone


Solution

67% Answer Correctly

neutral

water

alkaline

acidic


Solution

An acid is a substance that gives up positively charged hydrogen ions (H+) when dissolved in water. A base (alkaline) gives up negatively charged hydroxide ions (OH-) when dissolved in water. pH is a scale that measures of how basic or acidic a solution is. Numbered from 0 to 14, solutions with a pH of 7 are neutral, less than 7 are acidic, more than 7 are alkaline.


5

Which of these is not a phase in cell division?

62% Answer Correctly

interphase

anaphase

cytokinesis

megaphase


Solution

Cell division is the process by which cells replicate genetic material in the nucleus and consists of several phases, beginning with interphase and ending with cytokinesis.
