Plant cells may generate energy through which of the following?
all of these |
|
aerobic respiration |
|
anaerobic respiration |
|
photosynthesis |
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.

In a eukaryotic cell, which organelles deal with proteins?
endoplasmic reticulum |
|
ribosomes |
|
Golgi apparatus |
|
all of these deal with proteins |
The nucleus of a eukaryotic cell contains the genetic material of the cell and is surrounded by cytoplasm which contains many organelles. Ribosomes produce proteins, endoplasmic reticulum helps synthesize proteins and fats, and Golgi apparatus prepares proteins for use.
Which of the following is the primary difference between a comet and an asteroid?
comets orbit the Sun |
|
comets have an atmosphere |
|
asteroids contain frozen water |

Antigens in the blood determine:
blood oxygen capacity |
|
Rh factor |
|
negative or positive status |
|
blood type |
Blood is categorized into four different types (A, B, AB, and O) based on the type of antigens found on the outside of the red blood cells. Additionally, each type can be negative or positive based on whether or not the cells have an antigen called the Rh factor.
