In cell biology, cytokinesis results in two separate:

57% Answer Correctly

cells

chromosomes

nuclei

chromatids


Solution

During cell division, the cytokinesis phase occurs when cytoplasm and cell membranes complete their separation resulting in two separate cells.


2

Which of the following is true about species groups?

46% Answer Correctly

a population is made up of a group of communities

an ecosystem is a biological population

a biome is a made up of a group of biospheres

a community is made up of a group of populations


Solution

population is a group of organisms of the same species who live in the same area at the same time. A community is a group of populations living and interacting with each other in an area.


3

Which of these is important for the body's maintenance, growth, and repair?

88% Answer Correctly

fats

protein

fiber

carbohydrates


Solution

Found in both animal sources (meat, fish, eggs, cheese) and vegetables (beans, nuts, some grains), proteins are important for the body's maintenance, growth, and repair.


4

The hottest of Earth's atmospheric layers is which of the following?

74% Answer Correctly

mesosphere

troposphere

stratosphere

thermosphere


Solution

Temperatures again increase with altitude in the thermosphere which is the hottest (4,530 °F / 2,500 °C) atmospheric layer due to direct exposure to the Sun's radiation. However, the gas in this layer is highly diluted so even though the atoms of gas may be very high in temperature, there are too few of them to effectively transfer much heat.


5

The envelope of gases surrounding the planet is called the:

72% Answer Correctly

lithosphere

atmosphere

geosphere

hydrosphere


Solution

The biosphere is the global ecological system integrating all living beings and their relationships. This includes their interactions with the lithosphere (the rigid outer part of the earth, consisting of the crust and upper mantle), hydrosphere (all surface water), and atmosphere (the envelope of gases surrounding the planet).
