In the classification of life, which of the following is not a kingdom?

63% Answer Correctly

animals

plants

bacteria

fungi


Solution

Below domain, life is classified into six kingdoms: plants, animals, archaebacteria, eubacteria, and fungi. The last kingdom, protists, include all microscopic organisms that are not bacteria, animals, plants or fungi.  (Archaebacteria and eubacteria are sometimes combined into a single kingdom, monera.)


2

In a eukaryotic cell, which organelles deal with proteins?

63% 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.


3

The transfer of heat by the circulation or movement of the heated parts of a liquid or gas is called:

61% Answer Correctly

convection

radiation

diffusion

conduction


Solution

Convection is the transfer of heat by the circulation or movement of the heated parts of a liquid or gas. Examples of heat transfer by convection include water coming to a boil on a stove, ice melting, and steam from a cup of coffee. 


4

Reproductive haploids are also known as:

62% Answer Correctly

sperm

gametes

diploids

ovum


Solution

Reproductive (haploid) cells known as gametes have half as many (23) pairs of chromosomes as normal (diploid) cells. When the male gamete (sperm) combines with the female gamete (ovum) through meiosis to form a zygote, each gamete supplies half the chromosomes needed to form the normal diploid cells.


5

Which of blood component fights infection?

90% Answer Correctly

red blood cells

white blood cells

platelets

plasma


Solution

Blood is created in bone marrow and is made up of cells suspended in liquid plasma. Red blood cells carry oxygen, white blood cells fight infection, and platelets are cell fragments that allow blood to clot.
