1

In cell biology, cytokinesis results in two separate:

56% Answer Correctly

cells

chromosomes

nuclei

chromatids


Solution

During cell division, the cytokinesis phase occurs when cytoplasm and cell membranes complete their separation resulting in two separate cells.


2

Convert 5C° to F°.

53% Answer Correctly

37

-23

41

27


Solution

To convert from C° to F° use:

\(F° = {9 \over 5}C° + 32\)

\(F° = {9 \over 5}(5) + 32\)

\(F° = {45 \over 5} + 32\)

\(F° = 9 + 32 = 41\)


3

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.


4

The envelope of gases surrounding the planet is called the:

72% Answer Correctly

atmosphere

lithosphere

hydrosphere

geosphere


Solution

The biosphere is the global ecological system integrating all living beings and their relationships. This includes their interactions with the lithosphere (the rigid outer part of the earth, consisting of the crust and upper mantle), hydrosphere (all surface water), and atmosphere (the envelope of gases surrounding the planet).


5

In the pancreas, lipase converts fat to:

64% Answer Correctly

complex carbohydrates

simple sugars

glycerol and fatty acids

amino acids


Solution

The acids produced by the pancreas contain several enzymes that aid in digestion.  Lipase converts fat to glycerol and fatty acids. Pancreatic amylase breaks down complex carbohydrates into simple sugars. Trypsin converts polypeptides (the building blocks of protein) into amino acids.
