1

In a eukaryotic cell, which organelles deal with proteins?

62% Answer Correctly

ribosomes

all of these deal with proteins

endoplasmic reticulum

Golgi apparatus


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

Which of the following describes the Earth's mantle?

81% Answer Correctly

dense

hot

all of these

makes up most of Earth's volume


Solution

Mantle makes up 84% of the Earth's volume and has an average thickness of approximately 1,800 miles (2,900 km). It is dense, hot, and primarily solid although in places it behaves more like a viscous fluid as the plates of the upper mantle and crust gradually "float" along its circumference.


3

The __________ nervous system regulates involuntary activity in the heart, stomach, and intestines.

58% Answer Correctly

autonomic

somatic

central

peripheral


Solution

Part of the peripheral nervous system, the autonomic nervous system regulates involuntary activity in the heart, stomach, and intestines.


4

The two heart chambers that collect blood are called:

46% Answer Correctly

valves

ventricles

atria

aorta


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.


5

The biosphere consists of which of the following?

87% Answer Correctly

lithosphere

hydrosphere

atmosphere

all of these


Solution

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).
