In a eukaryotic cell, which organelles deal with proteins?

62% Answer Correctly

all of these deal with proteins

ribosomes

Golgi apparatus

endoplasmic reticulum

What prevents blood pumped out of the ventricles from flowing back into the heart?

72% Answer Correctly

platelets

capillaries

valves

atria


Solution

The heart is the organ that drives the circulatory system. In humans, it consists of four chambers with two that collect blood called atria and two that pump blood called ventricles. The heart's valves prevent blood pumped out of the ventricles from flowing back into the heart.
