1

In a eukaryotic cell, which organelles deal with proteins?

62% Answer Correctly

endoplasmic reticulum

ribosomes

Golgi apparatus

all of these deal with proteins


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.


2

A subatomic particle that orbits the nucleus of an atom. It carries a negative electric charge. This desribes which of the following?

74% Answer Correctly

neutron

electron

proton

isotope


Solution

An electron is a subatomic particle that orbits the nucleus of an atom. It carries a negative electric charge. Generally, an atom has the same number of negative electrons orbiting the nucleus as it does positive protons inside.


3

Velocity and displacement are fully described by both a magnitude and a direction.  Velocity and displacement are which of the following?

70% Answer Correctly

combinational quantities

composite quantities

scalar quantities

vector quantities


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:  \(\vec{v}\)


4

What type of cloud is responsible for fog?

62% Answer Correctly

cirrus

cumulonimbus

stratus

cumulus


Solution

Clouds are categorized based on their shape, size, and altitude. Stratus clouds are low-altitude clouds characterized by horizontal layering with a broad flat base. When stratus clouds occur on the ground the result is fog.


5

This skeletal system is common in arthropods like insects, spiders, and crustaceans.

81% Answer Correctly

endoskeleton

vertebrate

exoskeleton

bone


Solution

An exoskeleton (external skeleton) is common in arthropods like insects, spiders, and crustaceans.
