1

In a eukaryotic cell, which organelles deal with proteins?

62% Answer Correctly

Golgi apparatus

ribosomes

endoplasmic reticulum

all of these deal with proteins


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

The dwarf planet Pluto is located where?

63% Answer Correctly

in the asteroid belt

outside the solar system

in the Kuiper Belt

between the orbits of Jupiter and Saturn


Solution

The Kuiper Belt is similar to the asteroid belt but much larger. Extending beyond the orbit of Neptune, it contains objects composed mostly of frozen methane, ammonia, and water. Most notably, the Kuiper Belt is home to Pluto, a dwarf planet that, until a 2006 reclassification, was considered the ninth planet of the solar system.


3

In the heart, the __________ artery and vein manage blood flow to the lungs.

69% Answer Correctly

aorta

capillary

pulmonary

atrial


Solution

The two largest veins in the body, the venae cavae, pass blood to the right ventricle which pumps the blood to the lungs through the pulmonary artery. Blood picks up oxygen in the lungs and returns it to the left atrium via the pulmonary vein.


4

Convert 0C° to F°.

72% Answer Correctly

0

32

-32

16


Solution

To convert from C° to F° use:

\(F° = {9 \over 5}C° + 32\)

\(F° = {9 \over 5}(0) + 32\)

\(F° = 0 + 32 = 32\)

What part of the nervous system controls simple reflexes?

54% Answer Correctly

spinal cord
