1

In cell biology, cytokinesis results in two separate:

57% Answer Correctly

cells

nuclei

chromosomes

chromatids


Solution

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


2

During digestion, the kidneys filter substances from the blood. Which of the following is not filtered by the kidneys?

74% Answer Correctly

salt

fats

minerals

water


Solution

Chemical waste like excess water, minerals, and salt are filtered from the blood by the kidneys and secreted into the urine. Urine is transported from the kidneys to the bladder through ureters.


3

Reproductive haploids are also known as:

62% Answer Correctly

sperm

diploids

ovum

gametes


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.


4

Generally, an atom has __________ negative electrons orbiting the nucleus as it does positive protons inside.

67% Answer Correctly

more

fewer

equal numbers of

double the number of


Solution

An electron is a subatomic particle that orbits the nucleus of an atom. It carries a negative electric charge. Generally, an atom has the same number of negative electrons orbiting the nucleus as it does positive protons inside.


5

The crust and lithosphere of the Earth is made up of which of the following?

58% Answer Correctly

plates

sedimentary rock

metamorphic rock

continents


Solution

The crust and the rigid lithosphere (upper mantle) is made up approximately thirty separate plates. These plates more very slowly on the slightly more liquid mantle (asthenosphere) beneath them. This movement has resulted in continental drift which is the gradual movement of land masses across Earth's surface. Continental drift is a very slow process, occurring over hundreds of millions of years.
