In a eukaryotic cell, which organelles deal with proteins?
endoplasmic reticulum |
|
ribosomes |
|
Golgi apparatus |
|
all of these deal with proteins |
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.
What part of the nervous system controls simple reflexes?
medulla |
|
autonomic |
|
spinal cord |
|
cerebrum |
The spinal cord connects the brain to the body's network of nerves. It carries impulses between all organs and the brain and controls simple reflexes.
The biosphere consists of which of the following?
all of these |
|
lithosphere |
|
atmosphere |
|
hydrosphere |
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).
Cirrus clouds are thin, wispy clouds composed of ice crystals. At what elevation to cirrus clouds form?
low-altitude |
|
high-altitude |
|
mid-altitude |
|
ground level |
Cirrus clouds are thin, wispy high-altitude clouds composed of ice crystals that originate from the freezing of supercooled water droplets. Cirrus clouds generally occur in fair weather and point in the direction of air movement at their elevation.
During the water cycle, water enters the atmosphere as a gas through which process?
precipitation |
|
transpiration |
|
both evaporation and transpiration |
|
evaporation |
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.
