In a eukaryotic cell, which organelles deal with proteins?
Golgi apparatus |
|
all of these deal with proteins |
|
endoplasmic reticulum |
|
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.
An element in the physical state of __________ maintains a constant volume and shape.
solid |
|
liquid |
|
gel |
|
gas |
An element in a solid state has atoms or molecules that are constricted and do not move freely. Solids maintain a constant volume and shape and exist at a lower temperature than liquids or gases.
The brain and spinal cord make up the __________ nervous system.
peripheral |
|
somatic |
|
central |
|
autonomic |
The nervous system consists of the brain and spinal cord (central nervous system) and the peripheral nervous system which is the network of nerve cells (neurons) that collect and distribute signals from the central nervous system throughout the body.
All surface water is part of the:
geosphere |
|
hydrosphere |
|
lithosphere |
|
atmosphere |
The biosphere is the global ecological system integrating all living beings and their relationships. This includes their interactions with the lithosphere (the rigid outer part of the earth, consisting of the crust and upper mantle), hydrosphere (all surface water), and atmosphere (the envelope of gases surrounding the planet).
Atoms of an element whose atoms can vary in the number of neutrons in their nucleus are called which of the following?
isotopes |
|
ions |
|
reactants |
|
products |
The atomic mass of an element listed in the Periodic Table represents the average mass of a single atom of that element and is measured in atomic mass units (amu). This number is an average as some elements have isotopes with atoms that vary in their number of neturons and, therefore, differ in weight.
