dozens

3

6


Solution

2

In cell biology, cytokinesis results in two separate:

57% Answer Correctly

cells

nuclei

chromatids

chromosomes


Solution

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


3

In a eukaryotic cell, which organelles deal with proteins?

62% Answer Correctly

Golgi apparatus

ribosomes

all of these deal with proteins

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.


4

Velocity and displacement are fully described by both a magnitude and a direction.  Velocity and displacement are which of the following?

70% Answer Correctly

scalar quantities

composite quantities

combinational quantities

vector quantities


Solution

Velocity and displacement are vector quantities which means each is fully described by both a magnitude and a direction.  In contrast, scalar quantities are quantities that are fully described by a magnitude only.  A variable indicating a vector quantity will often be shown with an arrow symbol:  \(\vec{v}\)


5

Which is the proper order of Earth's atmospheric layers from the surface up to space?

58% Answer Correctly

troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere

stratosphere, troposphere, mesosphere, thermosphere

mesosphere, thermosphere, stratosphere, troposphere

thermosphere, mesosphere, stratosphere, troposphere


Solution

The troposphere is the closest layer to Earth, followed by the stratosphere, mesosphere, and finally the thermosphere which borders space.
