endoplasmic reticulum

Golgi apparatus

ribosomes


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

Antigens in the blood determine:

52% Answer Correctly

negative or positive status

blood type

Rh factor

blood oxygen capacity


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.

The two heart chambers that collect blood are called:

46% Answer Correctly

valves

ventricles

aorta

atria


Solution

The heart is the organ that drives the circulatory system. In humans, it consists of four chambers with two that collect blood called atria and two that pump blood called ventricles. The heart's valves prevent blood pumped out of the ventricles from flowing back into the heart.


4

A compound is a substance containing two or more different chemical elements bound together by what kind of bond?

48% Answer Correctly

ionic

covalent

molecular

chemical


Solution

A compound is a substance containing two or more different chemical elements bound together by a chemical bond. In covalent compounds, electrons are shared between atoms. In ionic compounds, one atom borrows an electron from another atom resulting in two ions (electrically charged atoms) of opposite polarities that then become bonded electrostatically.


5

Which of the following states of matter exists at the highest temperature?

68% Answer Correctly

gas

liquid

solid

none of these


Solution

Solids exist at a lower temperature than liquids which exist at a lower temperature than gases.
