1

In cell biology, where does DNA replication take place?

64% Answer Correctly

nucleus

cytoplasm

Golgi apparatus

mitochondria


Solution

The cell nucleus contains the genetic material of the cell and is where DNA replication takes place.


2

An element in the physical state of __________ maintains a constant volume but their shape depends upon the shape of their container.

81% Answer Correctly

solid

plasma

gas

liquid


Solution

In the liquid state, molecules flow freely around each other and exist at a higher temperature range than the same substance in a solid state. Liquids maintain a constant volume but their shape depends upon the shape of their container.


3

The Sun is a __________-type main-sequence star.

64% Answer Correctly

G

S

D

E


Solution

The Sun is a G-type main-sequence star (G2V) but is informally known as a yellow dwarf star. Composed of 73% hydrogen and 25% helium, the hot plasma that makes up the Sun reaches 9,900°F (5,505°C) at the surface. It formed approximately 4.6 billion years ago and makes up 99.86% of the mass in the solar system.


4

An electrically charged atom is a(n):

49% Answer Correctly

ion

proton

electron

neutron


Solution

A compound is a substance containing two or more different chemical elements bound together by a chemical bond. In ionic compounds, one atom borrows an electron from another atom resulting in two ions (electrically charged atoms) of opposite polarities that then become bonded electrostatically.


5

50°F is how many °C?

72% Answer Correctly

122

-10

58

10


Solution

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

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (F° - 32)\)

plugging in our values gives:

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (50 - 32)\)

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (18)\)

\(C° = {90 \over 9}\)

\(C° = 10\)
