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

|
nucleus |
|
cell wall |
The nucleus of a eukaryotic cell contains the genetic material of the cell and is surrounded by cytoplasm which contains many organelles.
When the clouds become too saturated with water, the water is released as precipitation in the form of:
snow or ice |
|
snow |
|
rain |
|
ice |
Rising into the atmosphere, the water condenses into clouds. When the clouds become too saturated with water, the water is released as snow or ice precipitation which may warm as it falls to reach Earth as rain.
The first step in the water cycle is:
infiltration |
|
precipitation |
|
evaporation |
|
reclamation |
The water (hydrologic) cycle describes the movement of water from Earth through the atmosphere and back to Earth. The cycle starts when water evaporates into a gas from bodies of water like rivers, lakes and oceans or transpirates from the leaves of plants.
Which of the following is sedimentary rock?
basalt |
|
obsidian |
|
slate |
|
sandstone |
The Earth's rocks fall into three categories based on how they're formed. Igneous rock (granite, basalt, obsidian) is formed from the hardening of molten rock (lava), sedimentary rock (shale, sandstone, coal) is formed by the gradual despositing and cementing of rock and other debris, and metamorphic rock (marble, slate, quartzite) which is formed when existing rock is altered though pressure, temperature, or chemical processes.
Absolute zero is which of the following?
the coldest temperature possible in the universe |
|
0°C |
|
the freezing point of oxygen |
|
the freezing point of hydrogen |
In contrast to the Celsius scale (measured in degrees centigrade) that fixes 0° at the freezing point of water and the Fahrenheit scale that uses 32°, the Kelvin scale fixes 0 at absolute zero (-273°C) which is the lowest temperature possible in the universe.
