In a eukaryotic cell, which organelles deal with proteins?
Golgi apparatus |
|
ribosomes |
|
endoplasmic reticulum |
|
all of these deal with proteins |

As a cold front moves into an area, the heavier cool air __________ the lighter warm air that it is replacing.
cancels out |
|
mixes with |
|
pushes above |
|
pushes under |
A cold front is a warm-cold air boundary with the colder air replacing the warmer. As a cold front moves into an area, the heavier cool air pushes under the lighter warm air that it is replacing. The warm air becomes cooler as it rises and, if the rising air is humid enough, the water vapor it contains will condense into clouds and precipitation may fall.
Which of these does not contain oxygenated blood?
left ventricle |
|
pulmonary vein |
|
right atrium |
|
aorta |
To provide oxygen to the body, blood flows through the heart in a path formed by the right atrium → right ventricle → lungs → left atrium → left ventricle → body. When blood enters the right side of the heart it is deoxygenated. It enters the left side of the heart oxygenated after traveling to the lungs.
Which of these is not a function of bone in the human skeletal system?
store vitamins |
|
protect bodily organs |
|
store minerals |
|
produce blood cells |
Hard bones provide primary support for the endoskeleton while more flexible cartilage is found at the end of all bones, at the joints, and in the nose and ears. In addition to providing support and protecting bodily organs, bones also produce blood cells and store minerals like calcium.
