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.
Sound travels fastest through which of the following media?
metal |
|
vacuum |
|
water |
|
air |
The speed of a sound wave will vary with the medium. Sound travels fastest through media that has particles that are very close together, like metal. Thus, it travels faster through water than through air and doesn't travel at all through a vacuum (there are no particles in empty space to vibrate).
Respiration is the process by which __________ absorb oxygen and eliminate carbon dioxide.
bronchioles |
|
capillaries |
|
diaphragms |
|
blood cells |
The respiratory system manages respiration which is the process by which blood cells absorb oxygen and eliminate carbon dioxide.
Carbohydrates are found in:
sugars and starches |
|
food additives |
|
animal sources |
|
vegetable oils |
Carbohydrates are major sources of energy for the body and are found in sugars (fruit, cane sugar, beets) and starches (bread, rice, potatoes, pasta).
A major difference between sound waves and light waves is which of the following?
a sound wave is mechanical while a light wave is electromagnetic |
|
a sound wave is much slower than a light wave |
|
a sound wave cannot travel through a vacuum |
|
all of these are correct |
A vibrating object produces a sound wave that travels outwardly from the object through a medium (any liquid or solid matter). The vibration disturbs the particles in the surrounding medium, those particles disturb the particules next to them, and so on, as the sound propagates away from the vibration.
