1

In a eukaryotic cell, which organelles deal with proteins?

62% Answer Correctly

all of these deal with proteins

ribosomes

Golgi apparatus

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.


2

An element in the physical state of __________ maintains neither a constant volume nor a constant shape.

75% Answer Correctly

gas

liquid

plasma

solid


Solution

The gaseous state occurs at a higher temperature range than the solid and liquid states of the same substance. In this state, molecules flow very freely around each other and will spread out as far as they're able. Gases maintain neither a constant volume nor a constant shape.


3

Absolute zero is which of the following?

57% Answer Correctly

the coldest temperature possible in the universe

0°C

the freezing point of oxygen

the freezing point of hydrogen


Solution

In contrast to the Celsius scale (measured in degrees centigrade) that fixes 0° at the freezing point of water and the Fahrenheit scale that uses 32°, the Kelvin scale fixes 0 at absolute zero (-273°C) which is the lowest temperature possible in the universe.


4

The __________ nervous system controls voluntary actions.

52% Answer Correctly

somatic

peripheral

autonomic

central


Solution

Part of the peripheral nervous system, the somatic nervous system is made up of nerve fibers that send sensory information to the central nervous system and control voluntary actions.


5

Which of the following is the formula for power?

56% Answer Correctly

\(P = {w \over t}\)

\(P = {\vec{w} \over t}\)

\(P = w t\)

\(P = \vec{w}t\)


Solution

Power is the rate at which work is performed or work per unit time:  \(P = {w \over t}\)  and is measured in watts (W).
