1

In cell biology, where does DNA replication take place?

65% Answer Correctly

cytoplasm

nucleus

mitochondria

Golgi apparatus


Solution

The cell nucleus contains the genetic material of the cell and is where DNA replication takes place.


2

Veins __________ blood at __________ pressure.

49% Answer Correctly

deoxygenated, low

oxygenated, high

oxygenated, low

deoxygenated, high


Solution

Veins carry blood back to the heart from the body. While arteries are thick-walled because they carry oxygenated blood at high pressure, veins are comparatively thin-walled as they carry low-pressure deoxygenated blood. Like the heart, veins contain valves to prevent blood backflow.


3

Which of the following is not true about simple magnets?

63% Answer Correctly

all of these are untrue

same poles repel each other

opposite poles repel each other

opposite poles attract each other


Solution

Simple magnets have two poles, north and south, and opposite poles attract each other (N attracts S, S attracts N). Likewise, the same pole of two magnets repel (N repels N, S repels S). The Earth has a magnetic field and North and South Poles which enables the use of a magnetic compass to determine direction.


4

The heart __________ blood.

61% Answer Correctly

deoxygenates

oxygenates

creates

filters


Solution

To provide oxygen to the body, blood flows through the heart in a path formed by the right atrium → right ventricle → lungs → left atrium → left ventricle → body. When blood enters the right side of the heart it is deoxygenated. It enters the left side of the heart oxygenated after traveling to the lungs.


5

A biological community of interacting organisms and their physical environment is known as:

79% Answer Correctly

community

population

ecosystem

biome


Solution

An ecosystem is a biological community of interacting organisms and their physical environment. This includes both the biotic (living) and abiotic (non-living).
