In a eukaryotic cell, which organelles deal with proteins?

63% Answer Correctly

all of these deal with proteins

endoplasmic reticulum

ribosomes

Golgi apparatus


Solution

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.

54% Answer Correctly

autonomic

medulla

cerebrum

3

212°F is how many °C?

78% Answer Correctly

-100

100

\(135 {5 \over 9}\)

0


Solution

The formula to convert from F° to C° is:

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (F° - 32)\)

plugging in our values gives:

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (212 - 32)\)

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (180) = {{180 \times 5} \over 9}\)

\(C° = {900 \over 9}\)

\(C° = 100\)


4

Water freezing or boiling is an example of which of the following?

80% Answer Correctly

heating

cooling

phase transition

sublimation


Solution

A substance undergoes a phase transition when it moves from one state of matter to another, for example, when water freezes or boils.

45% Answer Correctly

fungi

protists

animals

plants


Solution

Below domain, life is classified into six kingdoms: plants, animals, archaebacteria, eubacteria, and fungi. The last kingdom, protists, include all microscopic organisms that are not bacteria, animals, plants or fungi.  (Archaebacteria and eubacteria are sometimes combined into a single kingdom, monera.)
