Which of these is not a function of bone in the human skeletal system?

52% Answer Correctly

produce blood cells

store minerals

protect bodily organs

store vitamins


Solution

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.

55% Answer Correctly

primarily solid

primarily liquid

liquid

solid


Solution

Mantle makes up 84% of the Earth's volume and has an average thickness of approximately 1,800 miles (2,900 km). It is dense, hot, and primarily solid although in places it behaves more like a viscous fluid as the plates of the upper mantle and crust gradually "float" along its circumference.


4

The gravitational interaction of Earth and the Moon is responsible for which of these?

77% Answer Correctly

seasons

the northern lights

tides

day and night cycle


Solution

Tides are caused by the gravitational interaction of Earth and the Moon.


5

In a eukaryotic cell, which organelles deal with proteins?

62% Answer Correctly

ribosomes

all of these deal with proteins

Golgi apparatus

endoplasmic reticulum


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.
