In a eukaryotic cell, which organelles deal with proteins?
endoplasmic reticulum |
|
ribosomes |
|
Golgi apparatus |
|
all of these deal with proteins |
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.
Which of the following would be found on a reflecting telescope?
concave lens |
|
convex lens |
|
concave mirror |
|
convex mirror |
A concave (or converging) mirror bulges inward and focuses reflected light on the mirror's focal point where the mirror's angles of incidence converge. In contrast, a convex (or diverging) mirror bulges outward and diffuses the light waves that strike it. A common use of a concave mirror is in a reflecting telescope, a common use of a convex mirror is in the side view mirror of a car.

|
British system |

What part of the brain is responsible for for balance, movement, and muscle coordination?
cerebellum |
|
cerebrum |
|
medulla |
|
brainstem |
The cerebellum is a large cluster of nerves at the base of the brain that's responsible for balance, movement, and muscle coordination.
pH is a scale that measures of how basic or acidic a solution is. A solution with a pH of 9 is:
alkaline |
|
acidic |
|
neutral |
|
water |
An acid is a substance that gives up positively charged hydrogen ions (H+) when dissolved in water. A base (alkaline) gives up negatively charged hydroxide ions (OH-) when dissolved in water. pH is a scale that measures of how basic or acidic a solution is. Numbered from 0 to 14, solutions with a pH of 7 are neutral, less than 7 are acidic, more than 7 are alkaline.
