1

In a eukaryotic cell, which organelles deal with proteins?

63% Answer Correctly

ribosomes

Golgi apparatus

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

A subatomic particle found in the nucleus of an atom. It carries a positive electric charge. This desribes which of the following?

80% Answer Correctly

proton

neutron

electron

atom


Solution

A proton is a subatomic particle found in the nucleus of an atom. It carries a positive electric charge.


3

Which part of the respiratory system helps protect against infection?

54% Answer Correctly

trachea

epiglottis

pharynx

nasal cavity


Solution

After air enters through the nose, it passes through the nasal cavity which filters, moistens, and warms it. Further filtering takes place in the pharynx, which also helps protect against infection, and then in the trachea which is just past the epiglottis, responsible for preventing food from entering the airway.


4

In the food chain, consumers are classified as which of the following?

73% Answer Correctly

secondary

tertiary

all of these

primary


Solution

Most animals consume other organisms to survive. Consumers (heterotrophs) are divided into three types, primary, secondary, and tertiary, based on their place in the food chain.


5

Materials like metals that transfer heat efficiently are called:

83% Answer Correctly

conductors

reflectors

insulators

refractors


Solution

Heat is always transferred from warmer to cooler environments and conduction is the simplest way this transfer can occur. It is accomplished through direct contact between materials and materials like metals that transfer heat efficiently are called conductors while those that conduct heat poorly, such as plastic, are called insulators.
