1

In a eukaryotic cell, which organelles deal with proteins?

63% Answer Correctly

endoplasmic reticulum

Golgi apparatus

all of these deal with proteins

ribosomes


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

This skeletal system is common in arthropods like insects, spiders, and crustaceans.

81% Answer Correctly

exoskeleton

endoskeleton

bone

vertebrate


Solution

An exoskeleton (external skeleton) is common in arthropods like insects, spiders, and crustaceans.


3

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

63% Answer Correctly

bacteria

plants

animals

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.)


4

Which of these represents the path of blood flow through the heart?

62% Answer Correctly

right atrium → right ventricle → lungs → left atrium → left ventricle

left atrium → right ventricle → lungs → left atrium → right ventricle

right atrium → left ventricle → lungs → left atrium → right ventricle

left atrium → left ventricle → lungs → right atrium → right ventricle


Solution

To provide oxygen to the body, blood flows through the heart in a path formed by the right atrium → right ventricle → lungs → left atrium → left ventricle → body. When blood enters the right side of the heart it is deoxygenated. It enters the left side of the heart oxygenated after traveling to the lungs.


5

During the water cycle, water enters the atmosphere as a gas through which process?

26% Answer Correctly

both evaporation and transpiration

transpiration

evaporation

precipitation


Solution

The water (hydrologic) cycle describes the movement of water from Earth through the atmosphere and back to Earth. The cycle starts when water evaporates into a gas from bodies of water like rivers, lakes and oceans or transpirates from the leaves of plants.
