1

In cell biology, where does DNA replication take place?

65% Answer Correctly

mitochondria

cytoplasm

Golgi apparatus

nucleus


Solution

The cell nucleus contains the genetic material of the cell and is where DNA replication takes place.


2

The two heart chambers that pump blood called:

59% Answer Correctly

atria

ventricles

aorta

valves


Solution

The heart is the organ that drives the circulatory system. In humans, it consists of four chambers with two that collect blood called atria and two that pump blood called ventricles. The heart's valves prevent blood pumped out of the ventricles from flowing back into the heart.


3

Cirrus clouds are thin, wispy clouds composed of ice crystals. At what elevation to cirrus clouds form?

70% Answer Correctly

ground level

low-altitude

mid-altitude

high-altitude


Solution

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.


4

Elements in the same group in the Periodic Table of the Elements have the same:

51% Answer Correctly

number of atomic mass units

number of electrons

number of electron shells

number of electrons in their outer electron shell


Solution

The columns of the Periodic Table are called groups and all elements in a group have the same number of electrons in their outer electron shell. The group that an element occupies generally determines its chemical properties as the number of outer shell electrons establishes the way it reacts with other elements to form molecules. So, because each element has the same number of electrons in its outer shell, each has similar reactivity.


5

In the classification of life, which of the following is not a kingdom?

63% Answer Correctly

bacteria

plants

animals

fungi


Solution

Below domain, life is classified into six kingdoms: plants, animals, archaebacteria, eubacteria, and fungi. The last kingdom, protists, include all microscopic organisms that are not bacteria, animals, plants or fungi.  (Archaebacteria and eubacteria are sometimes combined into a single kingdom, monera.)
