1

In a eukaryotic cell, which organelles deal with proteins?

63% Answer Correctly

Golgi apparatus

endoplasmic reticulum

ribosomes

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

Someone who has Rh-factor __________ blood cannot receive blood with a __________ type.

57% Answer Correctly

negative, positive

positive, antigen

antigen, negative

positive, negative


Solution

Blood transfer is limited by the type and Rh factor of the blood. Someone who has Rh-factor negative blood cannot receive blood with a positive type but a person with Rh-factor positive type blood can receive Rh-negative blood. Type O negative blood is the universal donor because it can be given to a person with any blood type. Type AB positive is the universal recipient meaning someone with this blood type can receive any other type of blood.


3

Which of the following is the narrowest classification of life?

71% Answer Correctly

family

species

domain

genus


Solution

The narrowest classification of life, species, contains organisms that are so similar that they can only reproduce with others of the same species.


4

The Rh factor antigen in blood determines:

57% Answer Correctly

postive or negative

universal donor status

blood type

universal recipient status


Solution

Blood is categorized into four different types (A, B, AB, and O) based on the type of antigens found on the outside of the red blood cells. Additionally, each type can be negative or positive based on whether or not the cells have an antigen called the Rh factor.


5

Which of these layers is found directly below the Earth's crust?

71% Answer Correctly

inner core

continents

outer core

mantle


Solution

The crust is the Earth's outermost layer and is divided into oceanic and continental types. Oceanic crust is 3 miles (5 km) to 6 miles (10 km) thick and is composed primarily of denser rock. Continental crust is 20 to 30 miles (30 to 50 km) thick and composed primarily of less dense rock. The crust makes up approximately one percent of the Earth's total volume.
