1

In cell biology, what part of the cell contains organelles?

54% Answer Correctly

cell wall

cell membrane

cytoplasm

nucleus


Solution

The nucleus of a eukaryotic cell contains the genetic material of the cell and is surrounded by cytoplasm which contains many organelles.


2

What part of the brain is responsible for for balance, movement, and muscle coordination?

70% Answer Correctly

cerebrum

brainstem

cerebellum

medulla


Solution

The cerebellum is a large cluster of nerves at the base of the brain that's responsible for balance, movement, and muscle coordination.


3

Convert -20C° to F°.

54% Answer Correctly

-4

-36

78

36


Solution

To convert from C° to F° use:

\(F° = {9 \over 5}C° + 32\)

\(F° = {9 \over 5}(-20) + 32\)

\(F° = {-180 \over 5} + 32\)

\(F° = -36 + 32 = -4\)


4

During continental drift, the drifting plates move across which of the following?

50% Answer Correctly

liquid mantle

fault lines

sediment

water


Solution

The crust and the rigid lithosphere (upper mantle) is made up of approximately thirty separate plates. These plates more very slowly on the slightly more liquid mantle (asthenosphere) beneath them. This movement has resulted in continental drift which is the gradual movement of land masses across Earth's surface. Continental drift is a very slow process, occurring over hundreds of millions of years.


5

The coldest point in the Earth's atmosphere is reached in which atmospheric layer?

52% Answer Correctly

stratosphere

troposphere

thermosphere

mesosphere


Solution

In the mesosphere, temperature again drops as altitude increases until the coldest point in the Earth's atmosphere, the mesopause, is reached where temperatures fall to −225 °F (−143 °C).
