2

In a eukaryotic cell, which organelles deal with proteins?

62% Answer Correctly

all of these deal with proteins

Golgi apparatus

ribosomes

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.


3

"The acceleration of an object as produced by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force, in the same direction as the net force, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object." This describes which of Newton's laws of motion?

65% Answer Correctly

first

second

fourth

third


Solution

Newton's second law of motion states that The acceleration of an object as produced by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force, in the same direction as the net force, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object. This law basically means that the greater the mass of an object, the more force is needed to overcome its inertia.


4

Which of these is matter than cannot be separated into different types of matter by ordinary chemical methods?

49% Answer Correctly

element

molecule

atom

compound


Solution

An element is matter than cannot be separated into different types of matter by ordinary chemical methods.
