2

Reproductive haploids are also known as:

62% Answer Correctly

gametes

sperm

diploids

ovum


Solution

Reproductive (haploid) cells known as gametes have half as many (23) pairs of chromosomes as normal (diploid) cells. When the male gamete (sperm) combines with the female gamete (ovum) through meiosis to form a zygote, each gamete supplies half the chromosomes needed to form the normal diploid cells.


3

In cell biology, what part of the cell contains organelles?

55% Answer Correctly

cell wall

cytoplasm

cell membrane

nucleus


Solution

The nucleus of a eukaryotic cell contains the genetic material of the cell and is surrounded by cytoplasm which contains many organelles.


4

Respiration is the process by which __________ absorb oxygen and eliminate carbon dioxide.

63% Answer Correctly

bronchioles

capillaries

blood cells

diaphragms


Solution

The respiratory system manages respiration which is the process by which blood cells absorb oxygen and eliminate carbon dioxide.


5

Earth's troposphere layer is which of the following?

73% Answer Correctly

farthest from the surface

closest to the surface

hottest

coldest


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.
