In a eukaryotic cell, which organelles deal with proteins?
endoplasmic reticulum |
|
all of these deal with proteins |
|
Golgi apparatus |
|
ribosomes |
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.
Traits represented by genes may be which of the following?
all of these |
|
expressed |
|
dominant |
|
recessive |
The traits represented by genes are inherited independently of each other (one from the male and one from the female gamete) and a trait can be dominant or recessive. A dominant trait will be expressed when paired with a recessive trait while two copies of a recessive trait (one from each parent) must be present for the recessive trait to be expressed.
50°F is how many °C?
10 |
|
-10 |
|
58 |
|
122 |
The formula to convert from F° to C° is:
\(C° = {5 \over 9} (F° - 32)\)
plugging in our values gives:
\(C° = {5 \over 9} (50 - 32)\)
\(C° = {5 \over 9} (18)\)
\(C° = {90 \over 9}\)
\(C° = 10\)
Which of the following would be found on a reflecting telescope?
convex lens |
|
concave mirror |
|
concave lens |
|
convex mirror |
A concave (or converging) mirror bulges inward and focuses reflected light on the mirror's focal point where the mirror's angles of incidence converge. In contrast, a convex (or diverging) mirror bulges outward and diffuses the light waves that strike it. A common use of a concave mirror is in a reflecting telescope, a common use of a convex mirror is in the side view mirror of a car.
Blood pressure is generally highest in which of the following?
heart |
|
capillaries |
|
arteries |
|
veins |
Arteries are thick-walled because they carry oxygenated blood at high pressure, veins are comparatively thin-walled as they carry low-pressure deoxygenated blood.
