1

In a eukaryotic cell, which organelles deal with proteins?

62% Answer Correctly

Golgi apparatus

all of these deal with proteins

endoplasmic reticulum

ribosomes


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 the following describes the Earth's mantle?

81% Answer Correctly

hot

all of these

makes up most of Earth's volume

dense


Solution

Mantle makes up 84% of the Earth's volume and has an average thickness of approximately 1,800 miles (2,900 km). It is dense, hot, and primarily solid although in places it behaves more like a viscous fluid as the plates of the upper mantle and crust gradually "float" along its circumference.


3

The process of diffusion allows __________ to exchange oxygen, carbon dioxide, nutrients, and waste between blood and the body's cells.

57% Answer Correctly

red blood cells

arteries

veins

capillaries


Solution

Capillaries are small thin-walled vessels that permit the exchange of oxygen, carbon dioxide, nutrients, and waste between blood and the body's cells. This process of exchange is called diffusion.


4

Which of blood component allows blood to clot?

74% Answer Correctly

white blood cells

red blood cells

platelets

plasma


Solution

Blood is created in bone marrow and is made up of cells suspended in liquid plasma. Red blood cells carry oxygen, white blood cells fight infection, and platelets are cell fragments that allow blood to clot.


5

Herbivores are __________ that subsist on producers like plants and fungus.

72% Answer Correctly

primary consumers

secondary consumers

scavengers

tertiary consumers


Solution

Primary consumers (herbivores) subsist on producers like plants and fungus.  Examples are grasshoppers, cows, and plankton.
