In a eukaryotic cell, which organelles deal with proteins?
all of these deal with proteins |
|
endoplasmic reticulum |
|
ribosomes |
|
Golgi apparatus |
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.
Blood pressure is generally highest in which of the following?
arteries |
|
veins |
|
capillaries |
|
heart |
Arteries are thick-walled because they carry oxygenated blood at high pressure, veins are comparatively thin-walled as they carry low-pressure deoxygenated blood.
Traits represented by genes may be which of the following?
expressed |
|
all of these |
|
dominant |
|
recessive |
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.
Which of the following is the formula for power?
\(P = \vec{w}t\) |
|
\(P = {\vec{w} \over t}\) |
|
\(P = w t\) |
|
\(P = {w \over t}\) |
Power is the rate at which work is performed or work per unit time: \(P = {w \over t}\) and is measured in watts (W).
What is the body's largest artery?
capillary |
|
aorta |
|
vena cava |
|
arteriole |
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.
