2

In a eukaryotic cell, which organelles deal with proteins?

62% Answer Correctly

all of these deal with proteins

Golgi apparatus

ribosomes

endoplasmic reticulum


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.


3

73% Answer Correctly

secondary

primary

tertiary

all of these

Most animals consume other organisms to survive. Consumers (heterotrophs) are divided into three types, primary, secondary, and tertiary, based on their place in the food chain.

Momentum is a measure of how difficult it is for a moving object to stop. Which of the following is the formula for momentum?

60% Answer Correctly

\(\vec{p} = {m \over \vec{v}}\)

\(\vec{p} = { \vec{v} \over m}\)

none of these

\(\vec{p} = m\vec{v}\)


Solution

Momentum is a measure of how difficult it is for a moving object to stop and is calculated by multiplying the object's mass by its velocity:  \(\vec{p} = m\vec{v}\).  Like velocity, momentum is a vector quantity as it expresses force applied in a specific direction.

74% Answer Correctly

the planets have moons

the planets have magnetic fields

the planets have water

the planets are Earth-like
