1

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

54% Answer Correctly

nucleus

cell membrane

cell wall

cytoplasm


Solution

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


2

The envelope of gases surrounding the planet is called the:

71% Answer Correctly

geosphere

atmosphere

lithosphere

hydrosphere


Solution

The biosphere is the global ecological system integrating all living beings and their relationships. This includes their interactions with the lithosphere (the rigid outer part of the earth, consisting of the crust and upper mantle), hydrosphere (all surface water), and atmosphere (the envelope of gases surrounding the planet).


3

In a eukaryotic cell, which organelles deal with proteins?

62% Answer Correctly

all of these deal with proteins

endoplasmic reticulum

ribosomes

Golgi apparatus


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

DNA is encoded through a combination of which of the following?

47% Answer Correctly

nucleotides

gametes

genes

helix


Solution

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is the molecule that contains genetic information. DNA is encoded through a combination of nucleotides that bind together in a specific double helix pattern.


5

The two heart chambers that pump blood called:

59% Answer Correctly

ventricles

atria

aorta

valves


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.
