1

In a eukaryotic cell, which organelles deal with proteins?

62% Answer Correctly

Golgi apparatus

ribosomes

all of these deal with proteins

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

The angle of reflection is equal to which the following?

48% Answer Correctly

refractive index

90°

focal point

angle of incidence


Solution

The law of reflection specifies how waves, including light waves, bounce off of surfaces. Specifically, the angle of incidence of the approaching wave is equal to the angle of reflection of the reflected wave as measured from a line perpendicular (90°) to the surface.


3

Velocity is the rate at which an object changes position. What is the formula for velocity? 

68% Answer Correctly

\(\vec{v} = \vec{d}t \)

\(\vec{v} = { \vec{d} \over t } \)

\(\vec{v} = { t \over \vec{d} } \)

none of these


Solution

Velocity is the rate at which an object changes position. Rate is measured in time and position is measured in displacement so the formula for velocity becomes  \(\vec{v} = { \vec{d} \over t } \) 


4

Which of the following is not one of the outer planets?

72% Answer Correctly

Neptune

Venus

Jupiter

Uranus


Solution

In contrast to the solid terrestrial planets, the outer planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune) consist of hydrogen and helium gas and water.


5

78% Answer Correctly

decrease, stabilize

raise, decrease

stabilize, raise

decrease, raise


Solution

Saturated fats can raise LDL ("bad") cholesterol while unsaturated fats can decrease it.
