1

When compared to eukaryotic cells, prokaryotic cells are:

60% Answer Correctly

less complex

none of these

similarly complex

more complex


Solution

Cells are classified into one of two groups based on whether or not they have a nucleus. Eukaryotic cells have a nucleus, prokaryotic cells do not have a nucleus and therefore have a less complex structure than eukaryotic cells.


2

Which of the following is not a vector quantity?

62% Answer Correctly

acceleration

velocity

mass

momentum


Solution

Velocity and displacement are vector quantities which means each is fully described by both a magnitude and a direction.  In contrast, scalar quantities are quantities that are fully described by a magnitude only.  A variable indicating a vector quantity will often be shown with an arrow symbol:  \(\vec{v}\)


3

Examples of tertiary consumers include:

73% Answer Correctly

sharks

chickens

cows

fish


Solution

Tertiary consumers eat primary consumers and secondary consumers and are typically carnivorous predators. Tertiary consumers may also be omnivores. Examples include wolves, sharks, and human beings.


4

Plant cells may generate energy through which of the following?

72% Answer Correctly

aerobic respiration

photosynthesis

all of these

anaerobic respiration


Solution

Some plant cells produce their own energy through photosynthesis which is the process by which sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water react to make sugar and oxygen. Animal cells cannot produce their own energy and, instead, generate energy when mitochondria consume outside sugar and oxygen through aerobic respiration.


5

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

54% Answer Correctly

cell membrane

cell wall

cytoplasm

nucleus


Solution

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