1

In a eukaryotic cell, which organelles deal with proteins?

63% Answer Correctly

endoplasmic reticulum

ribosomes

all of these deal with proteins

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

Which of these is a type of Earth's crust?

56% Answer Correctly

oceanic

terrestrial

metamorphic

sedimentary


Solution

The crust is the Earth's outermost layer and is divided into oceanic and continental types. Oceanic crust is 3 miles (5 km) to 6 miles (10 km) thick and is composed primarily of denser rock. Continental crust is 20 to 30 miles (30 to 50 km) thick and composed primarily of less dense rock. The crust makes up approximately one percent of the Earth's total volume.


3

Heredity is the passing on of physical or mental characteristics genetically from one __________ to another.

81% Answer Correctly

generation

family

species

cell


Solution

Heredity is the passing on of physical or mental characteristics genetically from one generation to another. Heredity is made possible via large strings of chromosomes which carry information encoded in genes.


4

Which of Earth's layers has weather?

63% Answer Correctly

mesosphere

thermosphere

troposphere

stratosphere


Solution

The Earth's atmosphere has several layers starting with the troposphere which is closest in proximity to the surface. Containing most of the Earth's breathable air (oxygen and nitrogen), it's a region with warmer temperatures closer to the surface and cooler temperatures farther away which results in the rising and falling air that generates weather.

Convert 5C° to F°.

53% Answer Correctly

37

41

27

-23


Solution

To convert from C° to F° use:

\(F° = {9 \over 5}C° + 32\)

\(F° = {9 \over 5}(5) + 32\)

\(F° = {45 \over 5} + 32\)

\(F° = 9 + 32 = 41\)
