1

In a eukaryotic cell, which organelles deal with proteins?

62% Answer Correctly

Golgi apparatus

endoplasmic reticulum

all of these deal with proteins

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

Large, puffy, mid-altitude clouds with a flat base and a rounded top describe which of the following?

74% Answer Correctly

cumulus clouds

stratus clouds

cirrus clouds

fog


Solution

Cumulus clouds are large, puffy, mid-altitude clouds with a flat base and a rounded top. These clouds grow upward and can develop into a cumulonimbus or thunderstorm cloud.


3

A dominant trait will be expressed when paired with:

75% Answer Correctly

a gene

a dominant trait

a chromosome

a recessive trait


Solution

The traits represented by genes are inherited independently of each other  (one from the male and one from the female gamete) and a trait can be dominant or recessive.  A dominant trait will be expressed when paired with a recessive trait while two copies of a recessive trait (one from each parent) must be present for the recessive trait to be expressed.


4

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

73% Answer Correctly

primary consumers

tertiary consumers

scavengers

secondary consumers


Solution

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


5

Cellular fermentation takes place:

50% Answer Correctly

in plant cells

anaerobically

aerobically

in the presence of oxygen


Solution

If no oxygen is present, cellular respiration is anaerobic and will result in fermentation where either lactic acid or alcohol is used instead of oxygen.
