1

In a eukaryotic cell, which organelles deal with proteins?

63% Answer Correctly

all of these deal with proteins

endoplasmic reticulum

ribosomes

Golgi apparatus


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

Blood pressure is generally highest in which of the following?

61% Answer Correctly

arteries

veins

capillaries

heart


Solution

Arteries are thick-walled because they carry oxygenated blood at high pressure, veins are comparatively thin-walled as they carry low-pressure deoxygenated blood.


3

Traits represented by genes may be which of the following?

82% Answer Correctly

expressed

all of these

dominant

recessive


Solution

The traits represented by genes are inherited independently of each other  (one from the male and one from the female gamete) and a trait can be dominant or recessive.  A dominant trait will be expressed when paired with a recessive trait while two copies of a recessive trait (one from each parent) must be present for the recessive trait to be expressed.


4

Which of the following is the formula for power?

56% Answer Correctly

\(P = \vec{w}t\)

\(P = {\vec{w} \over t}\)

\(P = w t\)

\(P = {w \over t}\)


Solution

Power is the rate at which work is performed or work per unit time:  \(P = {w \over t}\)  and is measured in watts (W).


5

What is the body's largest artery?

72% Answer Correctly

capillary

aorta

vena cava

arteriole


Solution

The aorta is the body's largest artery and receives blood from the pulmonary vein via the left ventricle. From there, blood is circulated through the rest of the body through smaller arteries called arterioles that branch out from the heart. Finally, blood is delivered to bodily tissues through capillaries.
